I put 4.5 volts on the main power terminals of the board, then put 6 volts on the 3 pin power circuit near the top of the board, because i was going to connect a servo and wanted to make sure i had enough power, but it wasn’t connected yet. I think i may have fried something, the chip got really hot. was this too much power to put through the board? i thought thats what that extra circuit was for.
Did you move the jumper to
Did you move the jumper to allow for 2 power sources?
i removed the jumper when i
i removed the jumper when i added the 2nd one.
Can you post a picture to
Can you post a picture to confirm it was done correctly?
Where the voltage goes
I believe that the 3 pin header at the top is for an alternate serial connection, for the older download cable. If you want a voltage at V2, it needs to be plugged in between the first and 3rd pins where you removed the jumper, according to the bottom of page 1 of the AXE020.pdf, with ground to the outside of the board, and +6 to the chip side.
wow… i feel retarded, thanks for catching that
Thanks for catching that, thats awesome, i feel so dumb…
I even went back to my CD Scout blog and saw that it was near that capacitor before…, hah
I’m learning!!
