Dumb Question

[chongmagic]

And are you powering it with both the pedal and the USB at the same time?

No just 9v

 

[Gordo]

I think it pulls 5V from the USB for power. I hadn't tried it but think you just run from USB while programming.

FWIW, I have had mine plugged in to both at the same time and have been able to flash/play without any issues.

 

[Gordo]

OK, good to know.

 

[Robert]

Mine stays plugged in to both.

I tested the pedal itself and all seems ok, I am getting around 2.4 volts on the TL072 and pin 8 is at 5v.

I'm sitting on the fence with a 10' Barge pole until all the Bugs & Fixes have been sorted out.
Maybe the USB micro cable needs further investigation?

I used a micro usb from my nVidia Shield high quality cable. I don't see any burns on the Daisy Seed, the thing gets hot as hell to hot to touch so maybe I had a fluke. Or I could be the fluke.

Were you ever able to get audio out of it before it gave off the magic smoke?

Yes it did give Audio.

Just as an update got a new seed and it works fine. Not sure what happened?

 

[Robert]

The one I had that died was somewhat randomly like that as well. I assumed it was because I had just plugged it into the PCB with power applied, but I had done that at least a hundred times before with no issues.... so maybe it was just a fluke.

I still wouldn't recommend doing it.
