I'll send you one when i the bulk order arrives. I've never seen a dead short like that from JLCPCB they test them before they get sent out.

You will have a brief terriblefire. Then it should clear the short.

My H6632B is good for this. When that runs out of amps i use a car battery.

@Subzero79 if you get photos of the defect for me i'll be able to get a refund from JLCPCB.

I have not yet found any open or short circuits on the board.

The last thing I can think is that I have somehow killed the CPLD. It was bought from RS, and soldered at a grounded workstation, so not sure what is going on. I have another new spare, so I could try swapping them over.

Apologies for holding up progress on the TF536, I am struggling to find much free time to get into the workshop.

No worries. I'm hovering over the trigger button on a 150 pc order so i'm keen to figure out issues before i do.
