Hi all, finally back from CO where we finally got the cabin plumbing OKed by the inspector (and got the thing basically finished).

Tom is correct, NOP means Non Operational or Inoperative. In this case it means the EC2 is not commuicating with the EM2. Either the two serial wires between them are not connected properly or an ungrounded condition or wiring error has blown one of the serial connections. The Auto Program mode will not work in this condition.

Tracy will have the final say, as he wrote the code, but most likely:

NOP = No Operation. or Non Operational. Uh for the life of me I can not recall when I started using that notation, but if you flag part of a schematic, or assembly code, with NOP it is pretty universal comment among geeks (EE's).

At least it isn't flashing "Fubar". :) Once I "inherited" some assembly code on a project which had never been commented (debug/maintenance nightmare). Thankfully the previous engineer had a hard copy with his hand written Chinese notation along side the code. Excited as I started to recognize a pattern of hand written characters by the sections of code I couldn't figure out. Thankfully another engineer explained what "fubar" looked like in Chinese.
