I installed the thing in the RIoCar this afternoon, but the board refuses to work. Voltages seem fine throughout the board, the oscillator is oscillating at 11.2896 MHz like it should, the critical jumpers are set to the proper positions, and the inputs are wired to the RioCar accodring to an earlier post by Hugo. It's being fed +5 volts from the RioCar board off of one of the jumpers. I can't find any shorts or improperly connected components. I only have a six inch lead off of the IIS pads. That shouldn't necessitate a buffer circuit should it? Other than that, the only thing left is to try and concoct some sort of reset circuit, as that pin is currently floating, but I have my doubts that is going to work. I'm not beat yet, but I am feeling very frustrated. On the plus side, the Rio still works.

Anyway, here are some pics so you can at least see what I've been working on.

You forgot to post this in Off Topic and Installation Notes too.

This is as they say, the proverbial "[censored]". I am impressed. Even if it doesn't work, it sure looks impressive. Not that I know much more than a volt from an amp, but I still have to say WOW.

Hugo, can you lend this guy here some devine intuition to set him on the path to glory?

Greg,
Thank you for the compliment. Nothing is as easy as it seems. Thought this would be a pretty straight forward project. I guess I will probably learn a lot more this way anyway. I know it's going to work one day soon. It's just a matter of finding the culprit of the problem. I am in the process of getting a schemtaic drawn up so that some of the people more in the know about digital audio circuit design can point me in the right direction.
