Display Board evaluation help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI 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. ? ? Dr. William J.

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.

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.
