Hello,

I am using an sx28 with a ds1620,serial display, and a pink.

i am using 2 different serial routines 1 for the pink and 1 for the serial display.

I have noticed that when i use both serial routines in the program , that the sx get stuck or doesn't send the correct data to the serial display.

How much power is needed for the pink and the lcd and sx?

have somebody any idea why?

Kurt

    I know the PINK need quite a bit of power. I don't remember how much, and I cannot see it in the manual, but we had a problem with a regulator overheating because of the amount of current the PINK needed.

    ·· PINK current draw is typically ~165 mA.· I hope this helps.

    i figured out why it does't work,

    there was a bad contact between the test board and the serial display.
