So it looks like it definitely boots up and everything, but it also looked like it may have some drop out after running for a short while. Here’s where the current waveform stands on the scope. Might experiment with adding a few extra caps on top of the 0603s I have.
By drop-out I mean screen turns off and you get the beep-code for missing video card upon reset. First time I ever saw a computer do that but I guess that's how it works when your video card says nopity nope. I take that it isn't filtered enough? Hmm...
Any tips/help with what settings I should turn on with the scope? Tried to the picture when it had finished doing an averaging window run (so you see some valid avg/min/max readings)
Another option is to start work on another proto-board for a pentium style cap-field for filtering. Basically just a bunch more of the small ones. A field! A field of caps to count! Uh ha ha ha! =p
Update: Okay, so definitely think I have narrowed it down to simply just heat - those LDOs produce a lot of it! It gets pretty spicey hot, so I suspect that it may be dropping out due to such. May need to design a little fan mount for it. :3
