Well, with my head hanging low and a sheepish look on my face...I can
report that I have completed Phase II Testing with success! I had asked for
some assistance yesterday with signal tracing in order to find where the
signal was being lost. After reading some replys, *trying* to read and
understand
the schematic some more, I went out of town for the night. While gone
the schematic for C6 became crystal clear in my mind and I knew exactly what
I had done. When the directions said to use the OUTER two pads for
installing C6 on the bottom of the board, I understood that to mean the
two OUTER
pads that were closest to the side of the board. Don't ask me how I came
to that conclusion...I don't know! I realized last night that the center
pad was a
ground pad! Maybe for numbskulls such as myself, the directions should
say something like "install C6 to pads 1 and 3 on the bottom side of the
board".
Boy...do I fell sheepish...especially since Don had asked me point blank
if I had C6 installed correctly. In my mind at that time I did.
OK...on to the rest of the build! Boy, I am beginning to somewhat
understand the schematic! Isn't that scary...
