Charger

Hi,

I am having great success with the Roli on the software side where I have integrated the EmguCV libraries with the SDK and doing a lot of experiments.

However, I got a sudden problem with the charger. The green light does not come on when attaching the charger to the Roli by with the charger cable hanging below its belly. I have always had this problem, but I the charger always managed to recognize the empty battery by carefully inserting the cable. My problem is now there constantly.

Could you assist ? Do I need a new charger ?

Sincerely

Jan

Hi nomad18.08,

thanks for help on this. I don't have a volt meter or any other measurement tools, so I have to use ad hoc methods. The charger does not get hot, so I don't think I am charging.

sincerely

Thanks nomad,

Will a picture be enough of the charger connected with no green led glowing ?

I can buy a volt meter but it will cost me some, I am mostly a software guy.
