Vision kit not booting after 15mins #633

Closed dexterac closed 5 years ago

dexterac commented 5 years ago

Bought a new AIY Vision kit 1.1 from Target yesterday. I assembled it as per the instructions and yet the kit wont boot after connecting to 5V 2.4A power supply.

I am waiting for 15mins and no result.

Update :

It took more than 20 mins to get started.

Now when I stop the Joy Detection program and run Face detection i get this error

pi@raspberrypi:~/AIY-projects-python/src/examples/vision $ ./face_camera_trigger.py

I find there's inconsistency from time to time with the hardware. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't. If you have extra parts try swapping out each component. Otherwise take it out of any housing and directly test the parts with tight cable connections.

I think it is power adapter related. I found that using a 1.5 amp charger would for some reason boot faster and stabler . I think it depends on the power adapter as a lot of them drop below spec for pi voltage stability.

Can you reflash your kit with https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/releases/tag/v20191113 and check if the issue is still reproducible ?

Make sure to use good power adapter as specified at https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/vision#meet-your-kit--gather-additional-items. Pleas reopen if problem is still reproducible.
