Display Board evaluation help


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have a couple of the 3.3V ONLY display boards prebuilt and I want a couple of volunteers to test them out.? They have to be: 1) people with working radios, and 2) have displays that misbehave (meaning if you move them around, elongate the cable, etc¡­ the processor locks up).

?

I don¡¯t really have the problem so its hard for me to fully evaluate if the display driver boards completely solve this issue.

Bill,
?
I have a working V12 single transceiver.? My initial cable of 12" worked when it was on my bench but when I mounted in the encloser it quit working.? Not sure if that is long enough for a test for you, but when I build a new cable less than 5 inches the display started working.
?
I would be happy to test the longer cable out with your board and give feedback.? Could also make a longer cable than required if needed to test.? Let me know.

Perfect Hank, Thanks.? What voltage is your display jumper set to on the Main board?

Didn't see you on had 3.3 version, sorry.


 

Bill,
?
If you don't get any body else, I do have a spare display I can run at 3.3v and just change my main board J8 jumper to run the display at 3.3v.? Not a problem for me,
?
I thought that 90 degree IDC connectors on the front, back, and top edges would make the cable paths easier but I don't know what it does to board real-estate.
