NanoC6 dev kit. Code only runs when attached to IDE
-
Good afternoon,
I'm pretty much a complete hardware noob. I spent yesterday getting a Nano c6 board to activate a relay after 2 seconds of powering on (and when the button is depressed.)
The code works fine while attached to the computer on which I'm running the arduino ide.
But when I plug it in to simple usb power, it's dead as a doornail. If I plug it back into the computer, everything's fine.
I know I'm missing something silly. But...what?
I can paste the code if you'd like. But I'm not sure what difference it would make.
The thing I'm trying to get done is "Turn on this relay for 1 second when the nano gets power." So it's nothing too complicated.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

You can check whether the problem is related to the relay or the nano itself: for example, connect the nano to a specified Wi-Fi after powering it on, and see if there is any difference when plugging it into a computer or a USB power source.
