Re: [beagleboard] Does the X15 require 5amps minimum to run?

In normal usage the board takes about 600mA at 12 V. If you have a lot of things plugged into the USB connectors, they can supply up to .9A each per the USB specification. You just need to press the power button one time, not hold it. Gerald On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 10:02 AM, Alek Mabry

[beagleboard] Does the X15 require 5amps minimum to run?

2017-04-03 Thread Alek Mabry
I plugged my X15 into the 12v 2A power supply on my FRC bot, and the orange power light lit up, but when I hold the power button the second light lights up dim and turns off when I release the button. The power supply for the board says 12V 5A. I can get 5 amps if I bypass the circuitry and
