Your Rocky Mountain Micro Encoder should be all together now except for the external chassis.
 
Get two pieces of wire long enough to reach your avionics bus and a ground. Strip the insulation from both ends. Install a D-sub crimp connector on to both wires.
Insert the Negative wire into stall # 1 of the 9 pin D-sub connector. Insert the positive into stall # 2. The terminals will click in when they are seated correctly.
Connect the other ends of the wire to a 12 volt power supply or battery. Connect the common lead of your digital multimeter to the test clip marked AGND and the positive lead to the test clip marked "V" on the display driver board.
 
 
Now comes the moment of truth.
Did you double check everything during construction?
Yes?
Well switch on the power!
 

UH OH! No display, Nothing, Nada, Not even some smoke!
