TPL5110 works only with button

Hi I just got your TPL5110, but I’m not able to make it working.

I connected a LIPO battery to the Balck socket on the board, I connect the OUT plus and minus to my adafruit feather 5v input and the adafruit pin 12 to the Done on the board. then I set dip switch C ON and all the other to OFF so I was hoping to have a sleep of 30 min.

Now if I push the button the project start and finish OK, power goes OFF but never goes ON.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks

Paolo

Hi Paolo.

You may have a bad board.

If you purchased the TPL5110 from the SparkFun website, just fill in the [form on this page with your order number and the URL to this forum post and we can get you taken care of.

If you purchased from a distributor or Amazon, just contact them and let them know you need an exchange.](Return Policy - SparkFun Electronics)

thanks for the reply,

but I ordered by your Italian distributors Melopero and they ask me to pay all the transport send and get (if they will agree ) the new back, so for a 8 euro board I will end up paying 20 euro transport with no assurance of the exchange.

So sorry but I just dropped on the trash and ordered a new one from Amazon.

Hope the new one will work :slight_smile:
