Default RE: DBU question

Ok, I got a multi-meter today and did some investigating.


1) I measured the voltage across the LED + and - on the DBC and found 5 v on the multi-meter. 5V to Gnd was 5V, and LED+ to Gnd was 5V. All others were 0V. (I believe this means the board is sending power to the LEDs when it is not supposed to, but the LEDs do get brighter for a second when I move the left stick in config mode)

2) There is no continuity between the LED - pin and any other pins on the DBU. There is no visible short between the IR sensors and anything else. But I did find continuity between the LED- pin and the Gnd on the DBC. (Could be a short)

3) I measured continuity for the wires running from the DBC to the DBU and found them all to be good (ie no broken wires)

So with that reported I am waiting to hear back from David.

Blitz,

this DBC/U is being installed in my panzer 3. My T-34 has a broken ESC/RX cable which is preventing me from getting it to work, replacement coming next week.
