Diodes the correct way round now. Will be ordering an FPGA in the next month or so. Will keep you updated. Thanks

Wow I am bad at diodes

[marcusrushy]

Is this diode the correct way round. Thanks

[marcusrushy]

[marcusrushy]

Found a picture on Google and yeah it looks like it is on the wrong way 🙂

[marcusrushy]

I checked with a multi meter before installing which way round to put it

[marcusrushy]

Having another go at this CPS2 build. Need to get another FPGA chip but been testing the diode in the picture with a multi meter. If I put the red lead on the right side and black on left side I get .668. If I put black on the right and red on the left I get .464. I thought I shouldn’t get any reading. Thanks

I would yeah but don’t have the FPGA chip anymore.

[marcusrushy]

I give up. Cannot seem to get this working. Will have to buy one when I get some money.

[marcusrushy]

Might transfer everything to another board and test each component. 🙃

[marcusrushy]

Got it from mouser

[marcusrushy]

2 – .472

3 – .949

4 – .490

5 – .353

[marcusrushy]

Then with the red lead on point 1 in the picture I put the black pin on points 2-5. Results are below. Something is wrong 🙂

2 TDI – 0v

3 TMS – 0v

4 TDO – 0v

5 TCK – 0.912

[marcusrushy]

I have the multimeter set to continuity like below.

[marcusrushy]

Ok. thanks for all your help so far. Will try that next. Hope we can get this working.
