Re: [Paparazzi-devel] YAPA Autopilot Power Problems

[Mauro Garcia Acero]

Thanks Christophe,

 

After some discussion with David (from PPZUAV) he told me that there was nothing charged. I did understand the opposite from his web page and having 2 leds lighted up at the first connection and never again, sent me to this misunderstanding.

 

I have followed the uploader guide and I have charged a example program (it would be good to have a minimum testing program with some leds flashing as example for this kind of testing). Now I have led 3 flashing, so I think that everything is working fine and there is not error on the soldering. Still no 100% sure of it.

 

Anyway, I have forwarded to David my remarks and suggestions of making something more "testable" for future units because it is a real proof of faith to work for several days in a board that you don't know if it is still working or just burned down.

 

Thanks

Mauro

Dear Mauro,

Probably PPZUAV needs to answer that but are you sure the boards are pre-flashed with code or did you upload a bootlader and firmware yourself?

Dear all,

 

I have purchased 2 YAPA boards at PPZUAV and I have just received them.

 

As it is explained in the web page, I have soldered the power the power supply, headers, USB connector, MAXIM 232 and all the caps needed (6). Then I have plug the board with a 12V DC adapter. LED yellow and red have flashed instantly and then nothing. I have tried again, without no result. I have checked voltage and 12V are arriving to the power supply and 5.05V are coming out (pin 3 - Vo and pin 2 - GND). I have checked the regulator of the microprocessor and it arrives well 5.05 and goes out 3.3V.

 

Thinking that I have done some bad soldering, I have tried only with the power supply on the second YAPA, nothing more. I have connected to the same DC 12V and not even flashing leds! Nothing at all. I have checked the power on board and everything seems to be fine.

 

What can I test more to know what is happening?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mauro.
