pololu board troubles

[ArkaiHalon]

just to get it out of the way, have you tried fresh batteries?

[Ulstergeki]

yep, fresh batteries, when i take the pololu out of the circut its as bright as ever,

i have a souel p4 green, 3.3 5w resistor, 4 aa battery pack, nickle plated momentary switch, ( non lighted AV switch) and the pololu is the LV version which should hold up to 7 V, but isnt 4aa putting out just 6v?
Like i said earlier, i think im going to just skip the pololu and go to radioshack and get the couple items i need to use the hasbro 2010 soundboard.

One random thought....

You have the resistor between the pololu and the LED, not the battery and the pololu board, correct?

[Ulstergeki]

i had the resistor between the led neg and the battery.

Maybe you should post a pic of how it is wired.

I havent tried the board with a straight hookup (just with a puck) so I cant help you. I will check the specs again later on and see if there is a current limitation. It should just latch the voltage so it seems strange. If you can show a pic of how its hooked up it would help.
