Yea, I heard you need special treatment to get through that barrier - psychological counselling, I believe it's called :)

I think there are but they may be the Bybees for PS lines?

I have not come across Bybees, but looking at this page describing their technology -

http://bybeetech.com/?page_id=11

I found that my belief in physics had been suspended. I think I will need psychological counselling. Goodness knows what force fields will be surrounding nige, if he does take his knife to one!

Please put me right, if you two think this is real science.

Yes and no, mostly no.

I eventually found a minute stray ball of solder caught in the legs of U39. Removing this has got uManager working again. I have reloaded the software and have full communication with the DAM, but still no output. I get flashing LED on startup and it goes solid once the i2s signal is on.

I've removed the mute relays.

Really not sure what else to try, other than perhaps replace U39, whatever it is, anyone?

Just worked out that U39 is the RS232 transmitter, so probably not the cause of my issue and no doubt working correctly as I am able to communicate with uManager.

U39 is the serial interface chip

If u reloaded the firmware with it its likely ok
