Re: Grandmother step-advance clock & reset issue

Try a different cable. Doesn't make much sense, but I think GM is pretty sensitive to what the clock signal looks like (level or length). I have a set of cables with build in green/red LEDs that I like to use for this, because it is obvious if there is no clock signal. When I tried to sync DFAM usin...
