PIXY does not boot?

Pixy Hardware
#1

Hello,

I have been using my PIXY 5 for a couple of weeks now without any problems. It has been connected to a 3.3v Arduino via I2C.

Today it “bricked up”. When I provide power, either from the Arduino or via USB the LED lights up red for a while and then turns white. (The same as described in this post: http://www.cmucam.org/boards/8/topics/4849?r=4851). I am not able to connect to PIXYmon or enter the firmware update mode.

I have two other PIXY´s that are connected in the same way. Both work fine with the hardware that the bricked unit was connected to.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
