Re: QMX+ No transmit or receive
Joel, thank you very much for your wishes.

Nico, the final price per unit would be determined by the number of

Re: QMX+ No transmit or receive
All these pins should be supplied with 2.5V from the R401/R402 potential divider through T401.? There could be several open circuits around T401.

Re: firmware upload
The power pins of the QMX+ USB connector are not connected to anything in the QMX+ design, so they should not be pulling any power at all from your Mac mini, so you may have a short somewhere in your

The QMX boards could be tested with some sort of bed of nails test fixture that provided the appropriate test signals for IC403 couldn't they?

Those connections, (pin 9 ic 402 and pin 7/9 ic 403) are for the trifilar
