We assembled a few pieces of CMOS PCBs, but none of them can show images. The computer can find the Miniscope device. We tested the signals at the connection cable between the master pcb and the cmos pcb. Some have signals, some no. The LOCK LED is OFF when the cable has signals, while it is ON when no signals. Is there any way to debug the PCBs?


Thanks

Hi Violinzju,

Can you please give me a bit more information about the issue you are having? Were you able to upload the firmware to the DAQ PCB successfully? When you click 'connect' in the DAQ software does the software freeze up or does an additional window open up?

What do you mean by "some have signals and some no"? How are you measuring this?

Most likely you just have an issue with your coaxial cable or cable connections.
