CHIP OPERATION TEST VIA LED:
* The new Prodigy 4 incorporates a new function which by means of a luminous led soldered on the pcb verifies if the chip is working correctly before and to install all the wires and also after the modification.
* N.B to verify that the code inside the micorprocessor works correctly, just connect power and ground, if the LED lights up then the code inside and the chip work correctly
Once you have installed the chip with all the wires, follow the following table to understand the status of the chip:
* TEST LED turns on then turns off: the chip works and has been mounted correctly and runs all the patches.
* TEST LED stays on: the chip is not working properly or has not been properly mounted check the installation.
* TEST LED remains off: the chip does not work make sure that it is powered correctly and that all the wires and connections are installed as shown in the diagram.
