This problem is strange. I've been using the Coolrunner II for over 20 projects. I saw the Cmod S6 Dip format and thought I would give it a try. I started with a simple program and got an external LED to flash at 1 Hz on Pin 1. The demo that comes with it also flashes the on board Led at 1 Hz. I simply just duplicated that. So good so far. Now here's the strange thing, When I remove the USB connection and then reconnect it or add the 5 Vdc power from a separate power supply, the on board LED flashes but the external one does not. If you measure Pin 1 you will see a hard voltage 3.3 vdc when open and 1.3 vdc when I have the external LED connected. It is no longer changing states. If I reprogram it without changing enything, it starts to flash again. I've tried a number of experiments from another CmodS6, different pins and rebuilding the project from scratch with the same results. Has anyone else seen this or tried to run there's stand alone.
