K8061 CPU fail

Hi all,

I am having some bad luck with my k8061.

After assembling the board, i accidentally changed orientation of TLC5628CN IC. When i connected the power and USB, i noticed that RUN LED was off and CPU fail error in test application. In panic, when trying to remove it, i managed to break two of its pins. So i know i will need a replacement TLC5628CN, but i think i also damaged CPU. Can please someone tell me, what damage i did by reversing orientation of TLC5628CN IC and where can i get replacement parts?

Thanks
Andy

All functions except the analog outputs of the K8061 should work without the TLC5628CN (IC7) too.
Without IC7 you can test the IC6 (CPU) is working OK:

  • Disconnect the USB cable.
  • Connect the power supply to the SK2 connector.
  • Now LD12 (RUN) should start flashing.
  • All the LEDs LD13 to LD20 should be lit.

If the LEDs LD13 to LD20 are not lit, check the +5V is OK on the board.

You can go to your local Velleman dealer and ask for a replacement parts.
You can also return the whole kit for repair to your local dealer or to:

Velleman Projects Tech. Dept.
Legen Heirweg 33
9890 Gavere

I did the test as you described and all the LEDs LD13 to LD20 are lit but LD12 is not flashing. I ordered a replacement IC6 (cpu) and IC7. Should i test for any other component damage before i replace IC6?

Thanks
