Hello Again Dan, Seth here. I am currently working on a Flying BBBlue, too. At least, I thought this is what you were working on. I have arducopter on my BBBlue, some .service files to boot some specific commands, and I am trying to pair a receiver as of now. ... If you are not using the BBB

You guys are great. I'm going out of town for the weekend so I've ordered a couple of the parts suggested to give it a try. Should be here when I get back. Thanks! Dan On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 1:20 PM Mala Dies wrote: > Hello, > > While reviewing this info. you provided, an optocoupler might ju

Hello, While reviewing this info. you provided, an optocoupler might just work. I found a site that sells them but I also found on that site, some datasheet. See here for the datasheet: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ADuM1200_1201.pdf. Seth P.S. I have no

I'm kind of at a standstill. I found a circuit design to use a transistor to take a 3.3v input, and switch on the 5v for the GPS but then while doing more reading someone said that was a really bad idea because they weren't opto-isolated. I didn't really know what that was, but after reading it mak

Hey Man, Seth here. Did you ever figure out the issue w/ setting up a GPIO pin to control the 5v for your GPS? Seth On Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 12:38:52 AM UTC-6, Dan Hammans wrote: > > No apologies needed, I'm just trying to figure this out. What I meant was > using a GPIO pin to trigger

No apologies needed, I'm just trying to figure this out. What I meant was using a GPIO pin to trigger the relay/transistor which would then switch on +5v. I'll take a look at the links above, appreciate your help! On Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 11:58:08 PM UTC-6, Mala Dies wrote: > > Sir, >

Sir, I just found a source for ideas: https://next-hack.com/index.php/2017/09/15/how-to-interface-a-5v-output-to-a-3-3v-input/. Adding a button and software could prove valuable. If anything, it may help a bit. Seth P.S. GPIO works for buttons, LEDs, and other circuitry. I am sure you know

Hello, Seth here, again. I know this may seem odd but that is how the board was produced. They may make another one at some point. Who knows? For now, a button could work. That would take some extra oomph, though. If you want, I can try to help on this matter. Seth P.S. If you have any elect

Hey Mr. Dan, Seth here. Yep. That 5v only stays on. That black connector is rated at 5v and 3.3v. It does not power off either. See here: [image: Power.JPG] Seth P.S. From what this fellow told me, those two connectors are used for power but that neither powers down if power is still applied t

Hi Seth, I really appreciate the reply. I was afraid of that. My GPS module requires +5v. Is there another +5v source on the board that is switched off when the board powers down? What about the black power connector above the GPS UART port? Otherwise it looks like I will be building a resistor

Sir, Seth here. I just got done dealing w/ someone on this subject. The 5v pin from the GPS connection cannot be "un"powered. It stays powered on while the board has power. Seth P.S. Try UART instead at 3.3v. This may help. On Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 2:58:12 AM UTC-6, Dan Hammans wrote:
