Glad for you! It's strange, in my project P1.7 is unconnected, and 4G modem works like a charm for 24/7. пятница, 12 июня 2020 г., 9:41:34 UTC+3 пользователь Brett Maurer написал: > > I want to follow up on this post in the event that someone else is > experiencing the same problem. > > I impl

I want to follow up on this post in the event that someone else is experiencing the same problem. I implemented a USB power switch as shown in the below schematic. I have not seen a recurrence of the hot CPU problem after much testing. The 3G modem and software have been working perfectly. One

Thank you for the reply. The drawing is very helpful. I noticed that P1.03 EN blinks high, then low, then high again after a couple seconds. I assume that this is not a problem for the power switch. I'll be checking this further after I get my hands on the component. -- For more options, visi

Thank you for your comments. It seems I must revise the design for the power. It's a bit out of my area of knowledge so will need to do some research. The Beaglebone Black has always worked perfectly for my application but the PocketBeagle does not have the same USB socket available so I wired

Agreed. 3G modems can pull a remarkable amount of power (up to 2A!) under certain circumstances. That's going to tax the power systems of the PocketBeagle pretty heavily. You need to have something which you can use to turn on/off the power to the modem which bypasses the PocketBeagle power s

Hi! Propably the trouble is in the wrong power circuit to USB modem. Use the USB power switch to power USB device connected to PocketBeagle board. четверг, 28 мая 2020 г., 14:10:31 UTC+3 пользователь Brett Maurer написал: > > I'm using the PocketBeagle in one of my projects and have noticed 5 tim

One further note, during today's test, the temperature returned to normal after restarting the bonescript only. I did not cycle power. The script controls wvdial to connect the 3G Modem. One theory is that there is some state between the CPU and modem that makes the CPU run hot and this is r
