First, The Analog Discovery 2 is a very handy device and i am very pleased with all the functionality it offers.
I got a problem with my device. The channel one of the wave form generator is not working any more. Here is the full the story. i mixed up the scopes for the signal generator and the oscilloscope and i ended up trying to measure a voltage of about 80v with the scope connected to waveform generator. As a result the device disconnected from my laptop. I noticed my mistake, unplugged the scope and tried to reconnect the device. It does show up in the list of available devices with all values of the register, S/N, state... But once i have clicked on 'select', an error pops with 'communication with the device failed'. I connected an external power supply to Analog D and this device can now be connected to Waveform (?!). If I try to set a sinusoidal signal on the channel one of the waveform generator, it shows either a clipped signal or absolutely nothing depending on the Vpp voltage. Also, their is a spurious 3V drop between ground and the output of the channel 1 To finish, the device warms up very quickely.
Does anyone has an idea how to fix that ? To be honnest, i have made an huge mix-take with the device, do you think that someone at Digilent will agree to have look at the device ?
Edit: Waveform indicates a consumption of 800mA / 4.8V on the AUX power supply, the temp is around 50 °C. Also there is a sound emitted by the device when connected, like a whistling.
Best Regards,
