'''Short history of the board''' * purchases as assembled or mainboard ? * ... I have a few problems with my genboard. When run VemsTune the software detect the board but pop up a window with legend device disconnected and the firmware upload menu is in grey color * Verify the RS232 connection, document here your wiring and voltage measurements: ** DSUB9/2 - ... ** DSUB9/3 - ... ** DSUB9/5 - ... Another thing the volt reg u20 gets very hot and the mosfet drivers gets warm * this sounds bad ** verify (measure) polarity and supply voltage: ... V ** measure current consumption: ... mA Make sure to follow instructions. * is there a chance +12V power was applied without grounds connected properly ? ** we've seen a case this year when GND came off (!) while +12V was applied (so powering GND through some FET outputs and atmega inputs => not good). This is also the reason why disconnecting EC36 under powerup is not allowed (damage is too likely).
