First, I purchased a lot of products from Make Shed and I'm an experienced builder and electronics repairman. I received two capes, which out of the box one was broke and the other later failed to work with a new monitor (DVI capable). I have an ESD mating and a good ground system. I wasted an entire night troubleshoot both units. My beaglebones both work, my monitor, and HDMI to DVI -D cables also work, so these units are defective. The online notes do not even mention what to do if something goes wrong. I googled for help, checked the beagleboard.org site, and I went as far as to ask a question on the IRC chat---basically no help what so ever!!! I not sure if there are known issues with the capes. What a waste of $50 bucks each!
