    Just got a new USB Expansion card. It's working great!

    But i do also have a display2 card connected to the mc, but i realy cant get the digits to work.
    When i connect the cable between MC and Display card, the digits are randomized, sometimes there are the Digit 8 represented on each 2 7-seg diplays. And i cant use controlador to test the displaycard, nothing happends. the digits are "freezed" or sticky.

    What could be the problem? I think the MC is working as it should, since i'm able to make inputs etc.

    Dunno if it supposed to be +5v dc over the IC on the displaycard. It surely aint.

    Is my displaycard fried?

    Best regards!

    I don't think it is fried. I have fried one. LOL It didn't do ANYTHING afterward.

    I would make sure I connected the 7- segment LED correctly and have the correct ones. There are at lease two types. The have different connect points.

    Allright, sounds promising.

    But still, the card doesnt respond to commands. Maybe the MC fried on some circuits?

    well.. Have tried everything now... doesnt seem to get any control over the display II card. it has worked a couple of years ago when i used it in my cockpit on one COM radio display.

    Either the MC is bad somewhere or the display card.
    Annoying....
