Very true. So I guess even just using a li-po or li-ion on the bone would be much easier. -Wil On Nov 5, 2013 11:59 PM, Brandon I brandon.ir...@gmail.com wrote: A cap big enough should be able to handle that. Not sure if I did my math right, but for 2 seconds at 2W (beaglebone will be

I've connected beagleboneblack to my car power supply with 24V to 5V step down. when I power on my car the BBB starts but when I ignite the engine BBB stops running and don reboot though the power led is on. Can I fix it with software change mentioned at

The reason it powers off is because your ignition switch is not providing constant power when you turn the key to start. I would try to find a power source that has power when key is set to on and start. On Nov 5, 2013 6:21 AM, neckTwi satyagowtha...@gmail.com wrote: I've connected

Ok so why not add a cap to the circuit to keep it powered while you start the car. On Nov 5, 2013 6:34 AM, neckTwi satyagowtha...@gmail.com wrote: Ya I got that! But I am looking for some aiding reactive circuits or some magical software fix! -- For more options, visit

cap? is it some electronic circuitry? I donno much abt electronic circuits but i can solder few resistors, capacitors and diods on a board. Any help is a gr8 favour.. Thank you. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed

Cap = capacitor. Just make sure that it is the right size for where you put it in your circuit. If it is too small i can explode and possibly start a fire. In your original post you stated that you have a 24V to 5V step down, so if you place it before the step down make sure it is at least rated

Thank you. I will give a try. As per the post here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/aXv6An1xfqI/mURD3LfQ5dMJ? the power source should have proper rise time. I'm afraid a capacitor will increase the rise time. Any way I'll give a try. -- For more options, visit

I've connected beagleboneblack to my car power supply with 24V to 5V step down. 24V power supply in a car? If this means you're this from the accessories circuit, you're doomed. Accessories are turned off while the car is being started, and a cap won't be enough to power the beaglebone, since

Not necessarily , my car is a 95 3kgt and it starts within 1-2 seconds of turning it over. A cap big enough should be able to handle that. As for the 24v idk how I didn't catch that, but then again who knows it is possible. -Wil On Nov 5, 2013 9:30 PM, Brandon I brandon.ir...@gmail.com wrote:

A cap big enough should be able to handle that. Not sure if I did my math right, but for 2 seconds at 2W (beaglebone will be booting), and assuming his 24V to 5V regulator can regulate with an input voltage all the way down to 12V, that's around 20mF. I guess that's doable with $$$. It wouldn't
