MoPi power sources flash then nothing. #72

Closed swojtowicz closed 8 years ago

swojtowicz commented 8 years ago

Hi, my MoPi was working fine. Suddenly when I try to turn it on, the 2 power source LED's flash a few times then go out and nothing else happens and it won't turn on. I checked the voltage out from my 2 power supplies (9v's) and they both are about about 7.8 volts. Is there any meaning behind the flashing LED's?

Thanks!

perhaps the 9v supplies are dipping under load? it sounds like there is insufficient voltage to persuade mopi to start -- that could also be a config error; did you config simbamond for your supply characteristics? hth h

Aahhh I'm dumb. It was the batteries. As soon as you said they might be dipping "under load", I went and picked up more 9v's (had no spares to try when I first posted my issue). I should have tried that first. Thank you!

Cool, have a good one!
