I've nearly finished a vest with a TuxScreen as computing-core using it's touch-screen. :) I started a page on the wiki at http://wearforge.perilith.com/bin/view/Main/WOC2 for it. Now I have a problem. The DSTN-Display has a small board atached to it with a capacity, 2 inductivities and a few other parts. I lengthened the cable between it and the backlight and made a temporary cover from plexi-glass and tape. It did work after that. Then I began working on the vest and fittet evertything in there for a while. Then I took cpu and display out and tried to power them up again but the display stays black. I can see the system comming uo the the serial- port, login and everything but the display stays black. I damaged the cover of the smaller inductivity but it still worked after that and I cannot make out any damage on the CPU- nor the comm-board or the conectors. On the input-side of the small board I can measure 3.3V, 5V and some 0.xV-signals but nothing on the output-lines (I expect it to generate AC but the multimeter does not show AC(200 and 750V selected, never used that before) not a DC voltage-drop). If the cable to the display has been damaged somehow I would expect the backlight to still come on. Any suggestions what I meight look for? I wanted to wear the system tomorrow on the local CCC-meeting. :( Marcus -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
