Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry I should have seen that.
Might as well ask, can you think of anything else a student could do wrong to completely knock out the DS on first power up ?
Sure looks like it would be the fet. I connected the DS to a lab powersupply and the DS was drawing no current so no signs of shorts.
I just hope I don't have to drive for 2 hours or pay $20 brokerage + shipping fees to get another fet.
The last time I sent back a $15 sensor to be repaired for free, I got a $70 brokerage fee
