Thread: Installing/configuring

i moved a jumper and got it installed, though it intermittently will 'fail to start' according to device manager, and sometimes it will show up as unreognized..

What is your power source, and are you using it through a hub? If it is a hub, is it USB1.0 or USB2.0?

Straight in to my laptop, also tried it on another laptop (runnign vista) and it had the same issue.

Its being powered by the 110-240 -> 12v power supply from the Travala case that powers my mini itx setup. The only other powersupply i have around is the one for my lilliput, but that needs to be steped down to 110 volt first, and i dont wanna dig out my 240 -> 110 convertor.

The jumper group closest to the indicator LEDs. I moved it from jumping pins 7-8 to 1-2, though i think if i move it back its fine. Also, what does the other jumper block do, up by the inputs?

Oh, and, by the way, found the problem Cold solder join on the voltage input pin of the regulator.

Works fine when i mash the pin against the hole, or use something to complete the circuit. I have a soldering iron here, though i don't think i have any solder =/ I'll see what i can work out. Not the best pic but its about all i could manage. you can see the space around the pin where there should be solder, and how the pin isn't as far back in the hole like the other two.

Finally, now that i got it working, and got the latest control centre, all the skins seem to be reading the analog inputs, though i've yet to actually get a real temperature reading out of it, just seems to display the voltage, and it seems the digital outputs aren't working, or at least the LEDs arent coming on when i press the buttons in the skin...

I'll go try that now, because i have pins 1-2 jumped. Jus tout of curiousity, what are those jumpers for?

You have pins 1 and 2 jumpered? Why did you do that?! Take that off immediately. I made sure that they all shipped over pins 7-8 because those are the ONLY pins that should be jumpered.



Pin 1 & 2 (on the left) are used for an external power LED.
Pins 3,4,5 & 6 are mystery jumpers, not to be used by the end user.
Pins 7 & 8 (on the right) must be jumpered for any of the output LED's to work. Without that being jumpered, no output leds will light.

If you short Pins 1 & 2, you are shorting the board out. Dont ever ever ever ever ever ever ever do that. Why did you do that?! What gave you that idea? I didnt say it anywhere did I? If I did, I need to find and edit that, because that is bad.
