ok, thought I would start a new thread that could helpfully help others as I'm helped.
I've finished nearly all of my PCB work, my button board is soldered, power hooked up, etc.
The remaining work to be done is:
1) Hook up probe
2) Hook up fan
I've flashed optiloader and HeaterMeter code. I'm doing a standalone HeaterMeter without router.
When I plug my 12v source into the PCB, nothing really happens. The only indicator that I can see is when I crank up my potentiometer I can see boxes on the LCD show up.
A few questions:
1) Should I expect the LED to light up when adding power?
2) I've done a few voltage checks on the board, looks like LCD is getting power (5v), fan output is showing 12v...how should I even begin testing this? I have a simple multimeter with voltage, continuity, and resistance.
3) Can I plug in my FTDI cable to see output from the Serial Output? If so, what Baud Rate should I use?
That's a good start...any other troubleshooting thoughts would be great.
Thanks,
Jason
