 The first step to do a successful trouble shooting is to understand the design of the CS PCB. Attached you will find an overview of the usage of the connection pads between the CS and the Base PCB: The first step to do a successful trouble shooting is to understand the design of the CS PCB.

 Please note that the all switches and all LED’s are sharing the same GND pad JD8 ! This is important to understand because if you have shorts between JD8 rails you will find that a series of switches or LED’s are not working appropriately. In this case the MB6582 firmware will not be able to distinguish between switches connected to the faulty rails. Also all the LED’s connected to the faulty rails will light up together. ​ Please note that the all switches and all LED’s are sharing the same GND pad JD8 !

- 
  
   - LED Matrix –> Use the cable described in point a) above to check the wiring from the connection points. You need to connect the GND wire to one connection point on the JD8 pad and the +5V wire to one connection point on the JD6 pad. Please use the LED Assignment Matrix shown below. You need to check all 64 combinations to make sure that the complete matrix LED’s are working appropriately. During this test only single LED’s should light up. If more than one LED’s lights up then you have got a short on the PCB.   - LED Matrix –> Use the cable described in point a) above to check the wiring from the connection points.

 If you haven’t found any faults so far you can start testing your CS while connected to the Base PCB. Please use the following verification sheet to test the function of each component of the control surface: If you haven’t found any faults so far you can start testing your CS while connected to the Base PCB.

 You should walk through all components ! Please document your test results on the validation sheet in order to support the later troubleshooting in the forum. You should walk through all components !
