Maybe there’s an error in the soldering

Microcontroller is Atmega328P-PU

I too am having the same problem of only the back light working. I have checked all joints, components, pins, etc. All checks out fine. IC 1 and the microcontroller are the same as the above post. Any feedback would be welcome.

You might have an defective IC.

After successfully assembling about 12 of your kits, I have the exact same problem. K8115 carefully assembled and only sign of life is the backlight.

This is a little off subject at hand. I have this kit and in doing the parts check I see that r3-r5 are listed as 3k3 resisters with orange orange red, while the ones I have are 33 ohm with orange orange black. Has the specs changed or did I get the wrong resisters?

Never mind, I see the error in my reading the resister code.
