Ok, that's a novel solution I hadn't thought of. It doesn't solve the exact original challenge, but it's still the best solution so far :-) One of the ideas I had was to add weak pull-ups on the eight ADC ports, so they could detect opens more reliably. I think that solves the floating input problem. > 3. No static tester can detect the case where the pins are connected > through properly, but the pairing of the wires in the cable is > wrong. Right, but even this simple one can tell if you swapped two wires on one end, like if the wires crossed (or uncrossed) as you were inserting them into the connector. The system can even self-calibrate by pulling ALL the pins high (or low) except one, and measuring Voh (or Vol) with that one pin. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
