Is you track good and clean? That is what always gives my layout issues.

All due respect Tom, but you are not giving any info to work with. Are you running in Command or Conventional? What is or is not happening? What is the revision of the TIU? What are you using for an power supply?

Sounds like operator error to me.

First question, do they work in conventional mode?

Second question, does the TIU have power?
