Enter DEBUG mode:

Just use a wire or a resistor leg to connect

the R24 DEBUG pads. The pedal will go into debug mode.

Normal mode:

When you finish doing the debug tests, just de-

solder or cut the wire across R24. The pedal will stay in normal
mode. This is the mode you will use 99.9% of the time.

STEP 8 – Going into DEBUG MODE:

The debugging mode is designed to check every system in the board, it will allow you
to make a series of tests and verify the build.

Debug Mode Tests:

•

Test1:

measure with a multimeter the U5 pins 2 and 6, they should be ramping

up and down from 0 to 2.4 volts.
