CD_LTC1298 object
Hi All,
I'm taking a project I have been working on off the breadboard and onto protoboard. I have been using the CD_LTC1298 object quite happily. When I soldered the board together, I dind't follow the pin layout shown in the object comments. I forgot that it used the pins in a specified order.
So, instead of unsoldering and such, I want to change the code to allow the pins as I have them to work. Looking at the code it seems simple. Trouble is that it could still be a wiring issue as well, although I have looked at it many times. So, I thought I'd drop a line here and see if the code changes I made *should* work. If they should, then I need to somehow dig deeper and find the hardware issue.
Anyway, looking at the code for the LTC object, what I see that needs to be changed is:
The commented code is the original. I don't see anywhere in the code that I think would be a problem, but let's just say it wouldn't be the first time .
Thanks for the help!

So please check for this yourself: What is your Select, your Clock and your Data? It's you who has to know best...

I did check that, and it is in that order. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing else in the code that would need to be changed. I have just gone over the circuit again with a fine tooth comb and it looks right. Howver, if there is nothing wrong with the code, it must be a hardware issue.
Thanks!

Best is to check with a 'scope - you sometimes identify issues within minutes...
You have connected it to 5V, haven't you?
Perhaps you have a frequency counter in your multimeter... check the CLK line...
CS could be spotted with an LED ....
