          I am getting a “Timed Out” exception.<\/strong><\/p>\n
            \n
          1. Make sure the USB cable from your VINT Hub to your computer is attached properly.<\/li>\n
          2. Make sure you are connected to the correct port on your VINT Hub. In this case your red LED should be connected to port 1.<\/li>\n
          3. Make sure no other program is running that uses Phidgets. If a Phidget is already in use in another program, it will be busy and won’t respond to this one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            I can’t see the LED flash.<\/strong><\/p>\n
              \n
            1. The LED flash is quick, make sure you are looking the the Getting Started Kit when you run your program.<\/li>\n
            2. If you think you have a defective LED, try swapping it out for another (a classmates or the green LED). If you do have a defective LED, take one from your classroom’s spare kits or contact us.<\/li>\n
            3. If you are using PyCharm<\/strong> make sure you have the correct script selected. Sometimes, if you have more than one Python file in your project, you may be running the wrong script. You can select the script from the drop-down menu in the top right corner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
