Hi All,
When I see how popular Arduino-based game platforms can be, I am excited about the Dazzler. This is on me, what I expected was if I plugged it into my Uno, and uploaded: Examples > Gameduino2 > GD3 > cube, that I would see a 3d cube on my monitor. I may be doing something wrong, I tried a small 1366x720 TV, and I tried my primary HDMI computer monitor 3840x2160. I get only a black screen. What am I missing? Apologies if it is something obvious. -EDIT- forgot to mention I tried Hello World and a few others as well, no luck. I have my GD2 tested SD card with assets installed in the dazzler and the Uno is connected via USB to my Mac.
Thank you for any advice.

With no sketches loaded, it shows the title screen (a lot like the original Gameduino 1). If you don't see that screen, even with (e.g.) "blink" loaded on the Arduino, something fundamental is wrong.
Did you run through the checklist in the user guide?

Thanks Mr. Bowman,
The troubleshooting? Yes: HDMI cable is same as my computer, so it works USB cable from computer to Arduino Uno same one I use on Gameduino 2, which works.
I loaded blink on the Uno, and the onboard LED is blinking. Tried with and without my functional GD2 SD card, no change. Screen stays black. I just tried a 9v, 1000mA adapter I use with Arduino sometimes but no luck (adapter only, no USB at the time). From the monitor end, the small TV never detects an HDMI Signal, so in the inputs menu the HDMI are grayed out. On my primary computer monitor (1 year old LG) no signal is detected so the monitor goes to sleep after awhile.
What should I try next?
Thank you as always.

Had same trouble. Tried manually moving boards together and it started working. Ended up re-soldering the pin header. Also get the latest library, 1.3.4.

I haven't had luck yet. I'll try some more after work tomorrow.
