[beagleboard] Re: Help! Beaglebone Blue seems to have died

Oh, I think I understand the confusion. I didn't connect a 3S LiPo to the 2S LiPo connector (3 pin JST I think). I connected the 3S LiPo to the DC barrel jack that has a 12V sticker on it (I think you can see it in the BB Blue pictures online). On Friday, March 31, 2017 at 10:53:25 AM UTC-7,

[beagleboard] Re: Help! Beaglebone Blue seems to have died

I'm seeing a problem that may be related. We have now fried 3 BeagleBone Blues Rev A2. We started using ours with a 15V 2.6A supply *without* connecting a LiPo battery. After only a couple of power cycles, the battery charging IC gets very hot and pops with a puff of smoke and a burned trace

.. same here. BB Blue was in the process of booting with usb-power. Attached to the board was: - an Adafruit GPS module (GPS connector) - six NAZA ESC, data and GND pinned to the 8x3header (1..6), flight power battery to the ESC unconnected. - one Spektrum satellite receiver to E4 connector th

I've had to move on to another project for the short term, but since changing our process, we have not had an issue with the LIPO charging IC. Discontinuing use of the USB power connector seems to be key, and this setup has worked for multiple days without incident. We now cable to USB for in

[beagleboard] Re: Help! Beaglebone Blue seems to have died

Mine was working fine, until I let the battery that was running it die down. Then it wouldn't restart (same lights as in parent photo). Also seemed to be running hot. I was very excited about this board, but I need more reliability then this. On Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 10:53:30 AM UTC-4, T

Well this was fun. Just tried plugging the 12V in again, to see if anything changed, and the magic smoke came out of the chip near the 12V power plug. I assume that's the voltage regulator. And I had such high hopes for this board. On Friday, May 19, 2017 at 9:13:51 AM UTC-4, chris Bruner wrote

My BBB no longer works from the barrel jack; I plugged it into a 12V switching power supply and the smoke escaped (see picture). It still runs from a 2S LIPO.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Help! Beaglebone Blue seems to have died

I've currently burned 3 different CHGIC chips on boards. I've been running the board powered off a power supply set to 18V. I have other boards booted at the same time, and have booted up all of these boards on the same power before. There are different ports connected, but none of them are bein
