OK (laughing my ass off) Came up with some super-cool ideas for this: - Full citywide 4/5G TCP/IP stack communication by 4/5G USB module (with capacity to take and transmit JPEG stills of an area, usually just pushes numeric data to keep it within plan) - Urban Surveilance and Pasification

Managed to dig up the blue prints for the physical drone. Nice boilerplate design using 0.5 wooden dowel coupled with "geodesic" joins with wire to hold it in tension. I CA the GPS chip antenna near the center, but I need the MCU6050 inertial right at the center of gravity so I might put it on

Micael, For good measure, you should be aware that pins that are connected to external hardware. Should be isolated if those pins, and hardware are powered up before the beaglebone. I would think that if the beaglebone it's self is powering these external circuits, and hardware. Then this would

Check it. Doesn't work though. My dyslexia apparently. However this is what it will look like when finished. About 7" x 5". Machine screw it to the basswood or laminate baseboard on the drone and this is the complete BBB controllable power stage.

Thanks Robert. That did the trick. I will see on Mon. if the image boots up. I have to deal with some other issues regarding pin muxing and an eMMC that was added on our board. I'm slightly familiar with device trees and think that I should be able to deal with this using them. The production

If the power LED is off, then there is no power to the board. It will not show up as a USB device without power. Gerald On Sun, Feb 5, 2017 at 9:55 AM, wrote: > It doesn't flashes, no light at all.. during operation it went down. The > BeagleBoard doesn't show up any

It doesn't flashes, no light at all.. during operation it went down. The BeagleBoard doesn't show up any longer as a hard drive. I connect via the micro USB port, and that is the only power source for the board. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this

There is no fuse on the board. Sounds like you my have popped the processor via an I/O pin. If the power LED flashes, that means the PMIC has detected an over current condition on one of the power rails and is shutting down. Gerald On Sun, Feb 5, 2017 at 9:22 AM, wrote: >

OK, here is my best guess. I'll need to breadboard it out to get it working. It basically glues some reference designs (off of the Internet...beware lol) with some approaches that I've used for years together. I have to admit that I'm a little shaky in the MOSFET area, but I know I can get a
