Re: Initial Test of Main V12.6 board

Ok one more test you can run¡­ The AUDIO HAT¡­ and the RF board uses ¡°WIRE¡± (not ¡°WIRE1¡± or ¡°WIRE2¡±)¡­ so you could build the control portion of the RF board and try that to make sure that ¡°WIRE¡± is working correctly.? I guess you could also connect to the ¡°RF CONTROL¡± connector on the MAIN board to a bread-boarded MCP27018 with address 0x27 (which is ¡°111¡± for A0, A1, A2) to see if it returns the part imitating the RF board.?? You just need pins 1 = SCL, 3 = SDA , and 5 = GND.

Thanks Jack and Bill,

Yesterday, I successfully ran the ASCII code.
Today, I built the Front Panel board and connected it. Success on Wire1.

I2C device found at address 0x20: Front panel MCP23017 for switches 1-16? !
I2C device found at address 0x21: Front panel MCP23017 for switches 17-18, encoders !
done

So, it's between the Audio Adapter and the Teensy Audio Hat.
I have ordered some Stacking Header strips with enough pins that I don't need to Dremel two 12 pins to make them fit. That is my only guess, that the two sets didn't line up perfect and maybe one was pushing on the connection one way and the other the opposite way.

Until they arrive, I will look into the PRCJ docs on breadboarding the Teensy with the Audio Hat to see if something turns up.

Am I the only one that this happened to, not only that but two board sets in a row.
Best regards,

John K1JO
