this could also be a problem with the cable betw the interface/charger
and the host computer.

does the green led on the interface go on when plugged into the host
CPU?  if not, this is indicative of such a cable probl.

however, the pwr light on the interface board should definitely not
flash, and the com chip should not get hot.  can you check for stray
pieces of metal underneath the board maybe?

pls. let us know the result.

        My handy board has worked great so far!  I've hooked it up with bumpe • rs
light detectors, and infared proximity detectors.  But unfortunatly, last tim • e
I tried to load Pcode, my handy would not go into bootstrap download mode.
After screwing with the cables, I guessed the problem must be in the charger
board due to the fact that the handy board it's self goes into bs/load mode
fine, but when I plug it into the charger board, the pwr light comes on and
the handy drops out of bs/dnload mode.  I also noticed that when I have the
power supply pluged into the charge board without having the handy pluged in,
the pwr lite on the charge board flashes and the com chip heats up...

Any Ideas??

thanx,
