Missing 3.3V connection on RPi Qwiic hat #75

Closed ivogeorg closed 2 years ago

ivogeorg commented 2 years ago

Expected

Straight connection (0 impedance) between RPi header pin 1 and indicated pin on hat breakout.

Actual

Not connected or connected through voltage divider. Also not connected to header pin 17 (also 3.3V). image

Affects

Unknown. Expected functions of Qwiic sensors don't seem to be impaired.

The articulated Qwiic cable also reads the same (that is, not connected straight to 3.3V): image

This doesn't result in any significant drop of the voltage, which explains the lack of observable detrimental effects. Closing.image
