Summary

[edit]
Description

A tip to fellow DIY builders, check your ribbon cables -- if you build your own. Jay supplied a cable and my approach was to wire up each bank of 8 and then hook up with his cable, then as I checked each pot and fader I would move methodically onto the next row, plugging in my own DIY cable, then the next starting with Livid's supplied wire, then the next and so on.

About 12:00am I got really abstracted and tired. All of a sudden Nothing worked. I started flipping around wires and got in a horrid mess.

After a good night's sleep I saw my error. A batch of ribbon cables I had made up were inforrectly terminated. I'd flipped them around.

Picking apart the bad cables I made and re crimping them solved my problems. All pots to the max now. Really really weird things happen when you get the hookup to the ADCs wrong!
