Hi Joe,

It was a power issue.

By putting a 5 second delay at the start of the main() loop and a new power supply at 6Volts DC at connector X2 (FEZ Cobra) , i read 240mA before the Red Pine module activates and 300mA when activated.

My recommandation is to have a power supply that can at least give 6Vdc , 500mA . Just to be sure.

Jean,
Do you mean that you had to put 5 sec delay or it is only a power issue?

It was a power issue, the power supply did not give out enough current. I changed the power supply and problem was solved.
