Greetings all; If then. While shaving the side of the BXA's foot, swarf built up on the top of the y axis home switch, and when I went to brush it off, some of it went below the switch and shorted the 12 volts to ground. Lit the swarf strands up like a light bulb, which I don't quite understand since the teeny little switcher supplying that 12 vols. Short circuit protected, it shuts down at 2.1 amps. The switch still has the 12 volts on it but I've removed it from its bolt down. I have not used the halmeter to see if its traceable, but without sserial, I doubt I can read it.
All the power leds on the power supplies are at normal brightness and so are the leds on both the 7i76 and the SainSmart bob on the 5i25's p2. The GO704 and its interface is wired like Peter recommends, but apparently thats not good enough, without doing a full powerdown on the computer and the separately powered interface box. So I think I am going to have to concoct a method involving the actual unused parport to act as a master switch for the whole thing so I can do a powerdown reset on this interface combo by command from the computer. I can't believe I've blown the 7i76D, the available voltages just aren't there, but Peter also cannot duplicate this fail. But I have now encountered it on 2 separate builds. Has anyone else actually invented this particular wheel? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
