hardware problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I am designing a development board using ATMEGA 32 and also has other IC's like FT232 and a regulator 1117 (5 volts). Many sensors and LCD are still to be connected.

In the board I am getting all the desired voltage levels at all points but still the circuit is not working. Is there any problem with the current flow because when i measured current, it was just 15 mA on entire board. If yes, then how am I supposed to fix it ? Please help 

I have used a double sided PCB which is self made(using EAGLE)

Additional Details

i havent used autoroute facility and have made it by hand. I am using a 16 Mhz crystal. Also, since all the ic's are surface mounted i could not test on the bread board. Although, circuit is fine.

The problem is I am getting voltage across the power on led of atmega but still its not glowing and also the atmega32 is not getting programmed

Help  please help

	I also use a cristal 16 MHz but my ATmega32 can not work. after I use the 12 MHz, the can work well and be well on the program. for regulator to 5 volt DC I use IC LM7805, because this regulator have output 0,5A. hope it help.
