Thank you for opening an issue on an Adafruit Arduino library repository.  To
2
improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and
3
common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue:
4

    
5
- **Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues.**  Instead use
6
  the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why
7
  something isn't working as expected.  In many cases the problem is a common issue
8
  that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community.  GitHub issues
9
  are meant for known defects in the code.  If you don't know if there is a defect
10
  in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first.
11

    
12
- **If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step.** Carefully
13
  check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed.  Consult the
14
  forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial.
15

    
16
- **For Arduino projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply**:
17

    
18
  - For uploading sketches or communicating with the board make sure you're using
19
    a **USB data cable** and **not** a **USB charge-only cable**.  It is sometimes
20
    very hard to tell the difference between a data and charge cable!  Try using the
21
    cable with other devices or swapping to another cable to confirm it is not
22
    the problem.
23

    
24
  - **Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board.**  Check the specs of
25
    your board and plug in an external power supply.  In many cases just
26
    plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other
27
    peripherals.
28

    
29
  - **Double check all soldering joints and connections.**  Flakey connections
30
    cause many mysterious problems.  See the [guide to excellent soldering](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering/tools) for examples of good solder joints.
31

    
32
  - **Ensure you are using an official Arduino or Adafruit board.** We can't
33
    guarantee a clone board will have the same functionality and work as expected
34
    with this code and don't support them.
35
