Hey Bob, yeah one of the first things I did just to be sure, I’ve used it so many times over the last couple of years but just not playing ball this time, it must be hardware related but pinning it down is a pita

Once we're back you're welcome to pop down and play mix and match to find the fault.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind if I’ve not got to the bottom of it before then.
Although I may take the plunge and grab a iCarsoft in the meantime

They are super flakey, especially with the type D Serial mux.

Have you restarted etc, done the usual? how is the mux connected to the laptop?

I’ve got a T-shirt that says keep calm and turn it off and on again :p;)
It’s going to be a pin or wire issue I’m sure, just not sure I’ve the skills to find it, fixing is easy once I buy a new soldering iron,

Do you want to send the electric string to me and I'll test it and see what if anything broken
