First attempt...fail. Found a cap was in the wrong orientation, fixed it, still nothing. Checked for bridges, none, checked oriention of other parts...good. Except the PIC and MAX232. What is their correct orientation? Mine are seated such that the text on these is the same as the text on the board.
Still having issues fitting the encoder headers to the board. I had them so the pins were flush with the board, couldn't get them to go straight through. This isnt good enough and will loosen over time. I may need to drill the holes but i only have a 1mm drill bit.
EDIT: Also, ive snapped one of the pins on the max232. Its on the second row, last on the right hand side. The pin has come off at the point where it thins in to fit into the socket. The way it is currently positioned, the pin does not connect to anything, but if this orientation is incorrect, then i may have issues. Do i need a new one? Good thing jaycar have them (CAT. NO. ZK8824)
