Everyone please report you build status here for everyone

Cool, I thought I might have to write something to convert lor's.

hey it would be cool if you did but xlights convertor seems to work

Had mine built for a few days but only got access today.

No problems except I did cut the long capacitor lead. I had to mount it manually instead of bending it over to pin 22.

I plan to use this primarily to drive the Servo board and maybe an MR-16 or two. The 100msec timing will be no problem.

Finished by build earlier this week, however it does not appear to be working (no green LED). Connected a rainbow brain and flood to make sure it was not just the LED in backwards or not working and nothing was output.....Gonna check the board for bad solder joints in a bit, but thought I would post in case there are any other thoughts.

Can you post some pics, also does the red power led come on? Are you sure you installed the 7805 regulator and not the 1117?

[DanHouston]

Yup...Power LED comes on, just not the green. Just took some pics and should have them up shortly.

[DanHouston]

Here's a pic....I'll see if I  can get a better one as well.

[TexasStingray]

please post a top view picture also.

[DanHouston]

Pics of both sides.

Dan does the green LED blink at all?

Do you have an sd card installed when you power it on?

[TexasStingray]

If you have a multi-meter here are some voltage points. On the Status LED the voltage may pulse if there is an error, so hold it on there for a couple of seconds and see what happens. If it does pulse or stays at +5 volts then chances are the LED is on backwards.

The Green LED does not blink at all....Have done it both with and without an SD card (was working my way down the simple tests and was stumped at the first one).

Great....I'm gong out of town today, but will put my meter on those when I get back...Thanks for the picture.

What are you using for a power source?

Also check c1 & c2 to make sure that they are ok. It looks like the XTAL between then is not flush against the board, it's not supposed to be just checking.

It's an old LCD display power supply (12V, 4.5A) as I recall. The XTAL is not flush on the board (I followed your note in the build instructions)...That said, I am curious why it can't be flush?
