[Diy_efi] DIY-WB electrical problems

Brian,

Having a working board will help immensely. Place the two
boards side by side and cross-check the components. Can
even use a DVM to check the resistance of one resistor then
the same resistor on the other board.

Then flip boards over to solder side and visually compare
the two. Look for solder shorts and differences between 
the boards.

On #12 below, 7.886V is close enough to 7.9 volts. Have to
keep in mind that even DVMs can be +-1%, with +- one digit
on top of that.
