Hey guys,
I built a version of this DIY LA.
My scope doesn't recognize, when I plug it in.
The outputs of the DS90.. are fine, but the scope indicates a constant low level.
Any advice?
How did you check the LVDS outputs? This is a differential signal, it does not need to be measured relative to gnd, it is the voltage between pins 3 and 4 that is needed. It should change when applying 1 to pin 5.
If this does not happen, the power supply may not be supplied or the chips are faulty.
And it is absolutely necessary to check the flat cable - whether it is properly compressed (it should be 1:1, pin to pin, the keys on both connectors should be in the same position), there is contact on all wires.
Did you remember to turn on LA in the oscilloscope?
This is a very simple circuit, I'm sure you'll find the fault.
