PIM613 Issues

Im having a terrible time connecting my Pim613 servo board. No lights no feedback and it doesn’t stay connected to arduino IDE when uploading a sketch.

Ive tried looking up firmware and tried drag and drop into the drive (after i hold boot btn while connecting)

Ive tried installing different libraries…

I have a Ubec connected to the screw pins, but i disconnect the battery while attempting to load code…

I really need some help here, my whole project was counting on this board to drive 18 servos, if i didnt discover this board then i wouldnt have started this project. I have alot invested. Please assist.

I have no experience with the Arduino IDE, but normally, you only put it in Boot Mode to flash it with a uf2. After that you just plug it in, in normal mode, and connect via the IDE. Is that what you are doing?

I appreciate the reply and yes, I’ve taken those steps. I prefer C++ programming thats why im so focused on Arduino IDE however i did manage to get it to respond on Thonny! Step in the right direction but im not familiar with python (didnt realize i had to save the code under main.py)

You do not have to save the code as main.py unless you want it to run at power up. Thonny will load the current script in the editor to the board and run it, simply by clicking the Run button. You might need to upload any modules that you import.
