Just want to thank everyone who kindly assisted with suggestions on this=20
subject.


Everything works fine now.  This is what happened.

On Friday I was going away to visit my mother who lives 80 km or so from=20
us. Safe distance form any environment problems I would have at my=20
location so I therefore took down the two boards to take them with me=20
together with one of my lab power units. To make sure I had the correct=20
firmware in them I burnt it in on both boards (This I have done plenty=20
of times before, never even changed the preset path for the files in the=20
programmer when I programmed them now from last  time).

Noticed that after programming that one lamp that always been of before=20
now was lit. Reseted both boards and now everything was working!!!  No=20
problems at all.

Though that this could have something to do with  the time of day. So I=20
tested it several times since then and  it still works.

I have a wood pellets burning furnace with a big motor for the pellets=20
transport screw that I had turned of for the season an I tried to start=20
it again to see if that could be the problem but everything works OK.

I have tested, double checked and checked again so many times that I=20
would be surprised if it was something in my setup that caused this=20
problem before.  But why it did not work before puzzles me.

I don't feel OK with this as I can't explain why it now works but I=20
guess I have to go on with the project anyway....

OK now I understand. Will try that.
