Dear team,
It seems not working : without Triborg it works - once Triborg connected it doesn't work.
Could you let me know how to troubleshoot this .
(I didn't change my python script).

Kind regards,

My first thought based on your photo is that the connectors on the TriBorg+ have not been soldered in. Both the pins and the female connector to the Raspberry Pi need to be soldered to the board to work correctly.

Without the soldering the pins are probably not making a connection, which explains why your script is not working correctly.

Hi,
Yes Triborg + is not soldered - Ok I will do.

Kind regards,

Hi,
Just to complete : I forced the board with another GPIO header and fixed to the Pi.

I tested the connection from this "first" or "0" connection and it works.
Next I connected on the first GPIO line and it doesn't work - see photo in attachment.
I tested each line without success.
Each should be also soldered too ? It seems strange because the standard fix seems good.
Let me know.

Kind regards,

All of the pins on each connector should be soldered to the board, otherwise the GPIO pins will not make a good connection.

Even if some of the connections seem to be working without soldering they may not be working very well and might stop working at a later date.
