Hi gentlemen,
I removed all jumpers on Mercury and Pennylane pertaining to I2C (two on
each board). The problem still exists.( I do have only Pennylane on Atlas.)
I also removed Excalibur - no change. Any other suggestions?
I guess I have to do what Lyle suggested and try to upgrade the firmware.
I always hate to do that because I do that so seldom, I always have to
re-learn how to do it.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you
Steve WB3BRG
