Post: RE: Building one's own tangara

Hi Jacqueline, I just saw in the schematics that C17 and C19 of the audio amp are marked to not be mounted. Why ? I think I mounted them on the tangara that is alive. Thanks for your time Eve

Post: RE: Building one's own tangara

Hi ! I doubled check for shorts to ground / vdd /adjacent pins on PCA8575 and observed no issues. It's not easy to probe though, so maybe there is an issue anyway. The volume buttons work. I can mea...
