I just completed the HM portion of the build, less the 4 way tactile button that I have on order. I mated the HM with the rPi, installed the openWRT, asked the wife for a drum roll, plugged in a microUSB cord into the Pi and.......nothing.
I unmated the HM from the rPi, plugged the power back in and it lit up. Also plugged in to my network via ethernet and could see it on my network. However, when the two units were mated, no lights flashed on the rPi, could not see it on my network, and the LCD did not light up.
Where can I start to troubleshoot my HM build? Other than the button, I'm pretty certain all parts are installed correctly. Solder looks ok, but this was my first soldering job, so what do I know, really!? Are there points on the HM PCB that I can test with my multimeter to see where I may have gone wrong?
Any help, as basic as possible, would be extremely appreciated!
