Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Has anyone thought about a testing module for the Maximite?
I was thinking about some hardware and a software solution to exercise all the i/o pins and 5 volt and 3.3 voltages. I think I have damaged pin 1 on my maximite because I got confused with the 26 pin i/o connector assignments between a cross over cable and straight cable and also hooked a 1.2 volt rechrgeable the wrong way around on pin 1 in the geoffg battery capacity tester.

i have put foward the basically same idea a while back ...this is a suggestion go to the maximite whish list its by "donmick" and leave a post there i think that somebody will do it eventully even if its just a straight led test board ..i would do it my self but ..i cannot code very well the hard whare would not be too difficult but some body woud have t write the code and ..i think things like loop back connectivity on the com ports ...etc..etc... i think there is good reason for this unit ....regards sparkey

and on a nother thought it may be possible just to run a diag program as long as the pins are tru to the software ....and not miss reported...

and on another point the analog pins are rated at 3.3 volts i/o....Edited by sparkey 2011-10-18

technicians do it with least resistance
