Not true, there is no need for scaling resistors. It is scale internally already in the PMIC to match with AM335x A/D input range. It is only if you use the extra MUX input that you need to be aware of scaling. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received

That is possible. I will check when I get around to considering adding it back in. Gerald On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 10:09 AM, vescovida...@gmail.com wrote: Not true, there is no need for scaling resistors. It is scale internally already in the PMIC to match with AM335x A/D input range. It is

I would not expect them to turn a new PCB just for this mod (yes I know how much that would cost) but I would expect them to at least put it in the que when (or if) another turn is ever done. It is just one trace on the PCB and a zero cost adder. It was nice the battery connections were at least

Just making a simple observation. I know hindsight is 20-20. Continuous improvement is a great thing. . On Thursday, August 21, 2014 2:14:53 PM UTC-4, dvesc...@gmail.com wrote: Wouldn't have been great if the designer of the BBB hooked up the MUX OUT pin from the PMIC to one of the

Continuous improvement is a great thing. Improvement is also subjective.If I were to put all improvements in that everyone has mentioned over the years, the board would cost $100 and 90% of those improvements would be used by 2% of the users. If the need is great, I attempt to add features as the

Not only that ( what Gerald says above ) K.I.S.S comes into play here big time. If you actually could implement all these cool features for free hardware wise. At some point you're going to overwhelm yourself trying to make all this work. Which is to say, maybe the board never makes it to the
