In another thread, a member admits that his issue was simply due to shooting oneself in the foot In other words, an "Oops".
I was making an animatronic, with a custom servo driver board. It tested fine on the bench, but went wacky when I installed it in the animatronic. People here made several good suggestion, but they didn't solve the problem. Cut to the end of the story.
When installing the board, I accidentally flipped the connections. The pin connections on the board was an identical row of servo headers, so it was easy to flip.
Was certainly a forehead slapper.
I started this thread to demonstrate to noobies that we all make an "Oops" at one time or another.Ok, this is now really embarrassing.
The manufacturer called and we figured it out. The LED light needs a 24 V power supply and I grabbed one with 12 V. With other words, the LED light is not fried at all, the 12 V just didn't cut it. Just hooked up the matching supply and all is working.
I mixed up the power supplies, because the aquarium filter uses the same 24 V power supplied and that's where the LED supply ended up being, and the 12 V must be from the skimmer or something.
I'll mark all power supplies from now on! I guess I'm getting old.
What a joke.
Thank you Dennis for looking into this, I really appreciate it. I'll be back soon with my next screw-up. lol
