daltonparva Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well that's all very well for you Russ what are the rest of us going to do for entertainment now? Hear bloody hear. You'd think the least he could do was cock something else up, 'cos there's nowt else interesting going on. It's a lot more fun reading about other peoples struggles than going through your own. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2018 Started the next board today but on completion of every section of cross wiring with the speaker cable I've done a continuity test so hopefully last weeks problems won't be repeated Thanks for the advice in previous posts 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted February 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if you have a spare buzzer/bell and battery, connect them across the bus whilst you are wiring. If you try to connect something the wrong way you get an audible warning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if you have a spare buzzer/bell and battery, connect them across the bus whilst you are wiring. If you try to connect something the wrong way you get an audible warning. Also drive points over manually (or power) to check there is no short introduced if a point is reversed. I bought a Simpsons version of operation which we planned to use to make a continuity tester - so each time it detected a short it would go "Doh!"
