Respect your efforts Venufly.

Thanks for your support. Yeah I'm just scraping by. I'm relearning things that I forgot 10 years ago about how to handle I2C and I'm learning new things about grounding as you say.
But the great part about this motherboard is if I screw up on the plug-in boards its not difficult or expensive to redesign it and plug in a different version of board.
