Title: [solved] Preenfm2 r6 new build problems (screen blank, blue led blinking?)
Post by: Jverchot on July 27, 2021, 10:41:01 AM

Hi!
I have assembled a preenfm2 R6 using this screen: https://www.tme.com/us/en-us/details/rec002004abpp5n01/alphanumeric-oled-displays/raystar-optronics/rec002004abpp5n00100/ (https://www.tme.com/us/en-us/details/rec002004abpp5n01/alphanumeric-oled-displays/raystar-optronics/rec002004abpp5n00100/)
I'm very experienced with soldering, and I found all of this to be a breeze.

I managed to get windows 10 to see it as a stm32 device by going to device manager, telling it to look in the DEFUSE folders for the drivers, and installing them.
sucessfully used defuse to "upgrade" the pfm_2_20.dfu, also verified it.

so when I take the boot jumper off and power it on, the blue led on the back lights up for a second or 2, then blinks every 2 sec or so... BUT

the screen is black, does not flicker, light, or do anything.

no idea where to go from here.

ahhhh!!!!

there was the TINIEST solder debris bridging pins 12 and 13! and now it comes on! I didn't try that after wrestling the bootloader/firmware for hours and hours yesterday morning...lol.
