[beagleboard] Re: BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply
Nothing to assume :-) , there is NO ground connection between the BB and the bread board from what the picture shows, just 3 wires (Red, Green, Blue) not 4. How that could have damaged the BBB is what we don't understand. The wires to the BBB were connected to the MOSFET gates. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

RE: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply
First of all, the output level from the GPIO is about 3.3V and MOSFETs are voltage controlled devices. So you will need a transistor to boost the voltage to 12 volts.

[beagleboard] Re: GPIO and permissions
All of these suggestions are terrible. The right question to ask is How do I give a non-root user permission to set GPIOs? If this can't be done, then this distribution of Linux is broken. I can add my user to the kmem group, then change the group ownership of /sys/class/gpio/export to kmem, the chmod g+w, and then my user can export the GPIOs. But when they appear, direction is still owned root:root perms 644, so I can't do anything with the GPIO I just created, even though, as a member of kmem, I could do the equivalent memory-mapped IO. It is not acceptable to require a program to run as root. I not quite Linux-savvy enough to fix this. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

[beagleboard] Re: BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply
1st of all IF you used the FETs shown on Adafruit they are logic level FETs, so you can drive them directly from the BB. Resistors are only required if you had used the transistors instead of the FETs. As discussed you missed the GND wire (Black) as shown on Adafruit. Where did you measure the 200mV? From the BB GND to the outputs or elsewhere? As you don't have a common GND readings are pretty much meaningless. FETs have a large capacitance on the Gate, without a common ground you could have several hundred (or thousands) volts of static charge for a very short period, but it could be large enough to kill the processor. Very likely if you have carpets around. If you unplug everything you added to the BB will it boot up again? If not the above may be possible. You seem to be using P9_12, P9_16 and P9_21 they should be safe to use as I'm using them on a couple of projects without problems, you MUST add the GND wire from any pin 1 or 2 of either P8 or P9 to the GND track of your breadboard. I may think of something else later on... meanwhile, as I said above, unplug everything from the BB and see if it powers up, if not it's shopping time again. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

I was ready to declare it dead, it remained just flashing once after repeatedly unplugging and reattaching the power supply. However I noticed the single power led flash would also happen if I pressed the power button (leaving the 5V plug in). Doing that repeatedly seems to have revived the board, will see if new problems occur. For now it behaves normally. Is this expected behaviour?

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply
On Thu, 5 Mar 2015 22:41:16 -0800 (PST), you wrote: I wired up a circuit with an LED strip, 3 N-channel MOSFETs, and a separate 12V power supply, with the gate pins on the MOSFETS connected to I/O pins on the Beaglebone. some mosfets have protective diodes on the gate inputs. When I didn't connect the circuit to the Bone ground, I apparently fried 2 boards. Neither will boot up. One gives a flicker on the power light and then goes off, and on the other the power light turns on, but the other LEDs don't flash and I can't get into either board. If I assume that the ground on the circuit didn't have a connection to the BBB ground, and that the 12 volt supply was connected to the circuit +12 and gnd, then you put floating lines on the BBB outputs, and any leakage in the power supply to ground (or the BBB ground) could put any voltage on the output pins of the BBB. The gates were floating, which is why the circuit was unstable. BTW: these had to be enhancement mode FETs for this to work. Here is the thread on the Adafruit forum with a photo of the circuit: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8t=69691p=353330sid=eff0f5bd69bba9338e6f0ec2d7fa70c4#p353330 *The Adafruit support said that setup should not have hurt the board. * If connected properly. I checked the voltage on the gate pin on each MOSFET that was connected to the Bone and it was nominal (~200mA). Voltage is not measured in ma, do you mean 200 mv? The meter you used loaded the circuit, and would not show the true voltage. It's not a matter of current into the chip, it's a matter of voltage (period). The voltage can cause nasty things in the chip transistors driving the pin, and the power supply of the chip itself then does the damage. Does anyone have any ideas on this? How could this have fried 2 boards? A suggestion for you. Next time, do not make single connections to pins on the BBB (or anything else unless you're quite certain of what you're doing). Best to take a ribbon connector that makes connections to everything at once, run it to a breakout board, and then hard wire your connections to that. A frequent problem in breadboards is wires coming loose. This way the ground is automatically made to the chips on the breadboard. Another option would be to use a darlington transistor array, such as the ULN2803 or the ULN2003 instead of the FETS. Again, the same warning about grounding is in effect. Since you have two non-functional BBB's I'd suggest taking a meter and checking the voltages at the various regulators on the board. You have a schematic, and it may be possible that you have a bad regulator somehow. That's better than a fried CPU. Harvey Thanks for any help.

Without adding those variables to enviroment: $ sudo nano /etc/environment - add the following lines QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event0 TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts - Save (Ctrl + O) and exit (Ctrl + X) $ sudo reboot Touchscreen works out of the box, but it is not even close to being calibrated. The offset is really big and it changes when my finger is in different part of the display. After enabling the: QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event0 Touchscreen stops working. I feel like its not event0 at all. When I run ts_calibrate and try to press the crosshair, it doesnt work. It feels like touchscreen is off for the ts_calibrate program.

[beagleboard] Slow 720p playback
Hi all, Was trying to get some 720P video playback on my BBB on a neat touchscreen monitor I got from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-10-1-Open-Frame-LCD-Display-with-Capacitive-Multi-Touch-Screen-HDMI-VGA-RCA-/181669154495?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123. Surprisingly the screen works pretty well after just plugging it in. However, when trying to playback 720p video through VLC (no audio), I've got some major latency, youtube suffers the same way.This is a generic out-of-the-box BBB from Adafruit (element14) on 3.8.13-bone47, Debian 7.

Unluckily though, it doesn't seem to be a simple as sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.15-bone6, My apt-cache search linux-image returns this http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Lx8Z9xJt (as you can see, no 3.14.

I wouldn't mind downgrading to a different kernel version/switching distros either as long as I could take advantage of the IO still.

My understanding is that you added in Bluez, modified the build scripts to pull that external project in, patched bionic, and changed the kernel config to build in Bluetooth. Does that sound about right? Ok I'll start work on getting it over to you. Basically you are correct. Here are the steps at a high level: * Add bluez repo to the manifest and told it to not pull bluedroid. * Patched bionic, although I see bluez has a patched bionic in a repo for 4.4, maybe I can just change the manifest. * Built bluetooth kernel modules from backports, 3.8 is too old * Added insmod commands to init.{ro.hardware}.rc on boot and added import init.bluetooth.rc * Commented out qemu=1 check for bluetooth. * Had to manually move some libraries to /system/lib/hw/ from /system/lib/ Keith -- Keith Conger keith DOT conger AT gmail DOT com http://thecongers.org -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Pictures of the setup help little, except to find an uninstalled wire. The picture you put on the forum shows connections to the strip, but none to the drivers, nor from the drivers to the board. A schematic would be good, as well as the part numbers of the FETS. Otherwise, it's difficult to do anything but guess, although in this case, the guesses might be decent enough. I'm surprised I can't find anything similar to this issue. I will check out the regulators. Even in a relatively simple circuit, the number of ways that a circuit can be miswired is about N! where you count the parts and the wires. And that's just with miswiring, not forgetting something or adding bad parts. Hopefully, you damaged an easily replaceable part. The outputs on this chip are relatively fragile. There are other (perhaps older, perhaps a different design of chip) processors that have more robust outputs.

Resistors are only required if you had used the transistors instead of the FETs. As discussed you missed the GND wire (Black) as shown on Adafruit. Where did you measure the 200mV? From the BB GND to the outputs or elsewhere? As you don't have a common GND readings are pretty much meaningless. FETs have a large capacitance on the Gate, without a common ground you could have several hundred (or thousands) volts of static charge for a very short period, but it could be large enough to kill the processor. Very likely if you have carpets around. If you unplug everything you added to the BB will it boot up again? If not the above may be possible. You seem to be using P9_12, P9_16 and P9_21 they should be safe to use as I'm using them on a couple of projects without problems, you MUST add the GND wire from any pin 1 or 2 of either P8 or P9 to the GND track of your breadboard. I may think of something else later on... meanwhile, as I said above, unplug everything from the BB and see if it powers up, if not it's shopping time again. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Here are the steps at a high level: * Add bluez repo to the manifest and told it to not pull bluedroid. * Patched bionic, although I see bluez has a patched bionic in a repo for 4.4, maybe I can just change the manifest. * Built bluetooth kernel modules from backports, 3.8 is too old * Added insmod commands to init.{ro.hardware}.rc on boot and added import init.bluetooth.rc * Commented out qemu=1 check for bluetooth. * Had to manually move some libraries to /system/lib/hw/ from /system/lib/ Keith -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply
Right, Adafruit was aware there was no ground connection. They just said this should not have caused the BBB to fry from voltage running through the FET gate pins which were connected to the board.

If Adafruit said they could not see anything wrong with the wiring I would be very worried about their technical support -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.
