Can someone fix some issues on the "Inland Parts Pack Components Kit" document?
I graduated with EE in 2012 and have done software since then. I've wanted to get back into electronics. So I bought a RPi 5 and the Inland Parts Pack Components Kit to get my breadboard skills back up.
I've since realized that kit's instructions are for Arduino etc, but shrug, they're pretty easy to adapt so far.
There are 2 problems I've had, however:
- Project 5: RGB Led has incorrect instructions for the part I got. I was going crazy trying to figure out why it wouldn't light. Turns out the long pin is not a common cathode, but a common anode. It needs to be on 3.3V, not ground, and the 3 output pins need to be high for off, and low for on.
- Project 6 and Project 13 have something wrong with their images. Instead of the image, or even "load failed" icon, you get pages of base64 encoded data. It looks like some tool somewhere tried to "inline" an image and didn't do it correctly.
Can someone at Micro Center fix this up? Hoping links to the community are allowed: https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/810-inland-parts-pack-components-kit#project-6%3A-button-controlled-led
