The box from DigiKey arrived today. I assembled the first prototype
board, got it all programmed up, and attached it to my MythTV
backend. So far so good. I probed it, got the chipid into the config
file, and finally went to try it.... Nothing... Sigh.
Looking carefully at the relays I purchased, I must have clicked on
the wrong line item and ordered 12V activation relays instead of 5V
activation relays. And DigiKey is out of the 5V ones. Thankfully,
Mouser has some, so I ordered 25 of them from there instead. This
will mean a few day delay while they are shipped here, but it
shouldn't be too bad. Meanwhile, over the weekend, I plan on building
the rest of the board, just leaving the relays for when they arrive.
