hello group,
thank you adam-v and maxime for your answers,

here is what i found out:
no short on the busboard, evrything seem to work good (illuminated lights) without any 
module plugged.
as long as i have about/under 600mA everything works fine, no modules are faulty.
when i go over 600mA the fuse blows.
to me it seems that the power supply can only take the half...
as long as i connect one busboard everything works fine with all modules doing as they 
should...
when i connect the second busboard the fuse blows.
everything is connected the right way...
when i plugg a single module it seems to be allright(as far as you can say with only one 
module...)
i don´t even get close to 1200mA.
what should i do?
raise the fuse to about 600mA?
can i destroy sth by raising it too high?
in older messages it was told that it can be about 500mA, but it blows.
any other experience with the diy-kit in this group?
i really don´t know what this could be...
i built new cables, but they cannot be faulty and i replaced the module-screws with hex-
keys, but that should not cause those problems(my old diy-case worked well with it)

thank you and please excuse my poor english

cheers

maise
