Re: No RSL on Digital Sidecar

Falconmaster,
What issues did you encounter during beta testing? I wasn't aware of any issues being uncovered other than an interference between the case and an unrelated capacitor. We're not aware of any other design issues with the DSC.

Shobuda999,
The fact that BOTH of your Digital Sidecars have the same issue leads me to believe that they're not defective. Of course, it's always statistically possible that you received 2 bad modules. Or maybe they were assembled back-to-back when a surface mount part ran out during pick-and-place?

From what I can tell, other teams' RSLs are working just fine. Is the little green LED on the circuit board lighting up at any time?

The module as an overcurrent protection device to keep shorts on the RSL output from getting exciting. You might want to plug your light directly into a protected 12V supply (eg 20A breaker on the PD) and confirm that your light is OK.
