The board will not boot from the LiPo Battery. When I plug in the battery no LEDs turn on.
I’m using a 1.6Ah / 7.4volt 2Cell Lipo battery. The battery shows 8.4 volts with a voltmeter. Pressing the Power Button or the Reset Button does nothing. If I plugin a 12-volt power source into the barrel jack it will boot. Once booted the Battery Charging LED will blink. The four battery status LEDs will turn on and off in sequence for several seconds. Then they turn on solid for several seconds. It will continue this cycle as long as no power is applied to the motor drivers. The 25% LED is always red and the other three are always green. If I run rc_battery_check I see: Pack: 8.48V Cell: 4.24V DC Jack: 12.29V If I run rc_test_motors -d 1.0. I can run a motor from any of the motor drivers. The Battery Charging LED will turn on solid while a motor is running and will go back to blinking when the motor is disconnected. The four battery status LEDs will turn off if a motor is running. I have not found any documentation on the battery status LEDs, so I do not know what the LED's are telling me. I left the 12-volt power source and LiPo battery plugged in over night to ensure the battery was fully charged. But it did not help. Am I missing something? Any ideas what is going on?
