TRP new...small problem

[cenote]

Help....PLEASE

Assembled another strobe tonight, and everything seemed to go well. Using the pic version, I programed the pic, no problem, strobe flashed a couple of times when program got done and verified good. I connected pin 1 to +5v, pin 2 to ground, pin 3 nothing, and pin 4 to ground. The LED turns on, and stays on. No Flashy Flash? It is pulling 96mA, using the 1/2w LED. Is this correct? Any suggestions on making it go flashy flash? (No Dan, I am not going to turn the light switch on/off!)

Thanks, Chuck

If you ground the trigger line and then power up what happens?

When grounded, same results. I re-flashed chip several times, and always got an error on line 090. Tried it any how, and it works. It blinks! Going to build a few more later this week. Will let you guys know. Thanks.

Buy the way...LOOKS AWESOME. Well worth the wait!
