Multisensor 5 not working #48

Open nipunbatra opened 11 years ago

nipunbatra commented 11 years ago

I think it is power issue.

@manojgulati : I checked the connections from SMPS are tight. What amongst the following could go wrong:

  1. SMPS has gone bad
  2. SMPS might have given extra voltage to the node and thus it might have blown off

This is the same room where the earlier node also had malfunctioning. Could it be a case that the room power supply is faulty. I have connected Multisensor via an extension and the phone is also charging through it. Phone charging is working fine.

What could i do to check the source of fault. Would measuring voltage o/p from multi be the correct way to go about debugging?

Try to measure the voltage output of that power adapter i feel that's a faulty one and is not giving exact +5V that's why your nodes are getting spoiled.

Also try to replace the plug point on which you are mounting multisensor in that particular room.

The adapter is gone. Gives no voltage at its o/p. @manojgulati : Please test additional adapter. Shall take one from you today evening.

Worked with 3V3 supply. Apparently the adapter we used earlier was faulty.

@milan1267 : Can you in spare time also try the multisensor which i earlier returned. I think it had same issue and will work with proper supply.

@nipunreddevil: I was using that sensor with the supply and it was working fine, but I haven't checked the data which could be collected from it.
