I purchased the board from Bob's site and the components from Digikey. I 

then tried to assemble the module as per the instructions here...



http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/lvwarn/LVWarn-ABMM.pdf



It looks like a simple board, so I thought that I could do it even with my 

skills???   Well, DUH!!



When I turn on the master, the 3 amp fuse immediately blows!  I have 

absolutely no idea how to go about trying to troubleshoot this board.



Can some of you guys give me some leadership here?  Please don't talk 

about testers more than a cheap volt/ohm meter and be pretty specific 

about how to use even that..:>)



Thanks for your help.

   Drop it to me in the mail and I'll trouble shoot

   it, fix it and tell you what I found and how I

   found it.



   I've built a couple hundred of these critters

   and can probably find it pretty quick.



   On the other hand, if it's blowing fuses, it sounds

   like a hard short. Check for solder splashes on the

   connector pins. I can't think of any component placement

   error that would draw that much current.

Thanks, Bob!  My buddy at the airport has offered to look at the 

board.   He has it now.  If he comes up empty handed...(not likely :>))

I will take you up on the offer.


	


   Very well. Holler if we can help!
