Please ask your questions about the TCD hardware over at John's github, he makes the hardware. (Also, this forum is about the TFC drive switch, not the Time Circuits Display). https://github.com/CircuitSetup/Time-Circuits-Display/discussions |

Yes i did but it seems he has no time for answering, I have to send several mails for his help before he answers me so I try to find help by différent ways.

Wait a few days, he is probably on holiday... it is Christmas after all! Do NOT connect 12V to the "5V" connector. NEVER! If are using a 12V power supply, I recommend covering the 5V plug with some tape in order to avoid plugging it into the wrong socket. If this happens, the board will likely be destroyed! For 12V, you need to connect power to the 12-20V input, please use the red wire on "+", and the black wire on "GND" (and look for the "+" and "-" markings on your adapter, too!) On the photo this looks ok. Do any of the lights go on when you connect the board to the power supply? There is a red light inside the keypad as well, is that on or off when plugging it in? |
