Latest FW Update
Some how when I use the audio hat extension board it causes issues, If I plug audio hat direct into main board no boot issues.?
I ohmed out the traces on on extension board and all seem fine, so not sure but I can go on with calibration and working on optimizing rf cable lengths and ends.
Odd thing is I never had issue with previous builds, I tried previous build and got same result so I suspected hardware.
Good thing is I have plenty of room for audio hat extension is not needed.?

I went thru that, changed all the headers and pins to US made and , new Tweeny and Audio Hat, it was golden until yesterdays upgrade. I must have tweaked something pressing the reset button. The pins on expansion board must be off alignment just enough to cause issues. There is a lot of pins and headers that have to align perfectly.
I wish they had brought the rest out to a pad where we could add an external PB. All good for now.
At some point I will redo all the headers and pins again with new Tweeny and Hat.

As long as I don’t “screw up” and short something out, I guess I’m ok… ? ? Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ VP2EHZ ?
