not familiar with the K7S5A-HOWTO, it's not from us. Your best bet is to try and get the actual sensor connections, and external resistor values, from the board manufacturer. Much better than guessing. Also, I skimmed through the driver and didn't see any reason the -12V alarm should be stuck. Sorry. good luck mds John Gruenenfelder wrote: > > Hello.
