As shown in the table, Main_Pi and Spare_5V_2 is not giving an output voltage (we are expecting it to be ~5V).

Ryan said that there’s no firmware reason for both Main_Pi and Spare_5V_2 to both be zero and he suggested to take a look at the I/O expander connected to both Main_Pi and Spare_5V_2. More specifically, the following pins:

EDIT THIS:

  • i found out that led14 turns on when i pushed down on pin2 of U13 (fixed this by soldering)

  • i find out that led17 turns on by probing pin 4 of R89 (most likely soldering issue)

  • i find out that led22 turns on by probing pin 4 of R115 (most likely soldering issue)

(IGNORE FOR NOW):

  • power_distribution

    • automatically detects as rear board (in minicom)

      • LED27, LED23, LED4 stay on

      • LED1 of controller board stays on
