I've a 2.3.4 Gingerbread phone that's acting as the brain. However, I couldn't even get IOIOManager to connect with the IOIO board while it was in this state.
This one is bizarre. Tonight I got the yellow blinking behavior for 1-2 minutes, but when I accidentally left it on and came back to it 15-20 minutes later it was working normally, and it's done so again on a few reboots. However, I also now get the error "the power adapter you connected is not compatible. To avoid damaging your phone, please disconnect it now…." - That's a new one too. I'm driving the IOIO board with 6x AA Lithium batteries, which usually give ~7.5-8.0volts at the board after a polarity protection diode, and haven't had any problems in >>30 hours of testing before. The only thing I can think of that might have hurt it is that I did a test a week back where the android and IOIO board reached 55-60 celsius before i pulled the plug (oops). The IOIO worked OK immediately after that until two days ago. The best hypothesis I have is that the high temperature messed up the non-volatile memory, and now the IOIO board needs to warm up before its bits are in the right order. Best I've got anyway. I've ordered another board already just to be safe, as I can't afford this to go blinky at the wrong moment. Would love your thoughts on what might have happened here.
