Celestial Drive not working

[Plaidesaurus]

Robert, I just ran across this thread. I ordered the Celestial Drive back in June 2022. Couldn't get it to work no matter how many times I tried to troubleshoot. I've done about 50 builds at this point and feel pretty good about my work. So, I'm wondering if maybe my Celestial board is from that same batch. Should I upload a shot of the board? It's no biggie though. I can always buy another board from your latest batch of boards and give it another go. Thx

FYI: I POSTED THIS SAME MESSAGE IN ANOTHER THREAD I WAS READING ABOUT CELESTIAL DRIVE ISSUES BUT I BELIEVE IT ENDED UP SOMEWHERE IN THE ETHER OF THIS FORUM. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.

Can you post some close up pics of the pads that connect to your foot switch? The boards that had the ground plane issue were missing the "spokes" on the Ground pad at the off board wiring pads.

Should I upload a shot of the board?

If you have a DMM check for continuity between any two ground pads on the PCB (disconnected from any enclosure/jack grounds), or post a clear picture of the PCB.

It's highly likely you got one of the defective boards, I'll go ahead and ship you a replacement today.
