Hi,



If anybody here:

  1. Lives in the UK
  2. Knows more than me about electroncs (not a tough requirement)
  3. Speaks Mandarin Chinese
I'd be most grateful for some help.


Maybe if I explain:

I am developing a Yacht racing Instrument Sysytem. It's just about working.


We are using high-viz screens from an outfit from Taiwan called Digiwise


When I tried to add a brightness control (PWM signal from a GPIO pin on a Raspberry Pi 5) the controller and screen blew up.


DigiWise have confirmend that everyting I did appears to be correct.


But their English is not strong. I am restricted to asking questions that are only a few words long and admit to only "Yes/No" answers.


I need to improve the communication in order to have a conversation that figures out what happened.


Nobody is blaming anybody. There is good will on both sides. I only need to ensure the problem is solved.


I believe the engineers in Taiwan speak Mandarin Chinese. I am checking on this.

This is still an amateur project in the R&D stage, but even so I expect to pay for useful help - just not a huge amount.



Don't all rush, LoL.



Cheers


Peter
