Re: [PolySix] Polysix Clone KLM367a MG Problem help!

2011-06-01 by Andrew Jury

Hi Greg,

You might want to have a look at the values of the components you have used
around the D/A converter section of the board. If you like take a nice
details Œmacro¹ shot of the board and post it where we all can see. I am
sure some eagle eyed person will be able to spot the mistake. The reason one
of the LEDs is stuck on 5 is that the full range of voltages are
unattainable from the D/A converter IC33 over the entire input bit range.
These are checked by the CPU when in test mode.

Cheers,
Andy
