Time to check for a 'stupid' type of mistake. In my case I put in the UART in the wrong way. Ben.

On my new DMM there's a freq counter and I noticed something strange on the 5Mhz crystal (it is in a socket).

For me, it was always one unsoldered socket-pin somewhere. My advice would be to perform a very close inspection of the pins, searching for one Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:32:00 GMT eddie_chan2 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2844 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2844 hi, which Resistor should I test? eddie Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:31:40 GMT eddie_chan2 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2843 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2843 TP2-TP3 reading 4.97V. I've double all the IC & crystal and they all in the correct position. any other ideas? eddie Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:09:40 GMT Dave McGuire http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2842 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2842 ... Urr? I2R losses going through the (very tiny) shunt resistor? -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:05:28 GMT Jack http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2841 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sparetimegizmos/message/2841 One of the GALs is rotated 180 degrees from the rest of the chips on the board. I think this is a non-destructive mistake.
