Yeah, I had the LEDs at 7mA then worked out it was going to pull 4 amps :lol: I've dropped it to 5mA now, but dare not go much lower.

Been working constantly on my bus sniffer all day. Done version 2 which is in production now. This one is a bit smaller and got the right bits on it this time..I hope.. :lol: :roll: 14 hours straight it took to redo it. Fingers need resting now for a few days. I got mother to shift stuff about and do some repetitive clicking for me again. Was a mad rush as V1 had just been made so I wanted to get V2 on the same order to save a bit on postage..
I might see if I can get a few bits on the H5 revB tomorrow..fingers permitting..

Is it being shorted out on the RF shield?

Nope. The shifter is not socketed so the marpet was not fully installed.

Thing is, it was actually "fitted" ontop of the shifter... I guess whoever fitted it didn't fully understand the whole "plug and play" thing there :lol: :roll:

Yup, that is one way of doing it I guess. Not really "future proof" though. :shock:
