No Power from Battery after First Test
  • ripcurl777
    Hi all,

    i have a SimpleBCG 8Bit Controller with YAW Extension Board. Everything worked fine. On the 4th TestRun The Gimbal stopped working immediately, so Motors stopped and all Leds / Lights went off. Also a Reconect of a Full Battery did not help. It looks dead.

    But when i connect USB Everythink looks normal (Connection, i can Calibrate, get all Sensor Datas and so on).
    But when i reonnect battery only (Without USB) , the board is dead again.

    So on Battery = Dead Board
    on USB = Everything looks fine Everything works.

    So whats the Problem?

    thanks a lot

    try to resolder or check your battery connection on the board? it sounds like the board is not getting any power from the batt

    this was my first thougt but soldering is ok, also the plug, i get 12.2 volts on the Battery Ports (Solder Points). IS there any fuse or even voltage regulator burned?

    the board is only 1 week old...

    thanks

    Sounds like the 5 V regulator on board is burned. If you measure with voltmeter, do you find the 5V on board when battery is connected?

    I had virtually the same symptoms.... Except I saw the small chip next to the battery wire go red hot for a second then that was it... no battery power but usb seemed ok but it was fried all the same. Hobby king are sending me a replacement.
