Hi,
I have bought this LiDAR:
https://github.com/robopeak/rplidar_ros
And I am using pins on TB:
17, 14, 19, 35, 23, 22 1, 9, 223, 224
When I start my LiDAR and also start my motors+encoders TB suddenly stops everything and dies.
Also, LiDAR causes some vibrations to my TB, can it also make it to die?
What might be the problem here?
I'd start to check what the journal may say
Code:
$ sudo journalctl -b -1
After rebooting from a crash.
Secondly you should consider the current demand from the device. It might be better to use a buffer in between the TB and the LIDAR, to drive the motors.
I think that the RK3288 may just deliver a maximum of 200 mW or less. This sounds like a maximum of 200 mW / 3.5 = 60 mA, therefore just 5 pins might stand for 12 mA sinking current, perhaps sourcing current is lesser than that.

Hi, yes I also thought that. I was sourcing from the powerbank that delivers 2.1 A and probably it was not sufficient. Then I used the power source and it worked. So as power source was delivering 3A, I bought a different powebank with 2.4 A output and it worked.
Oh, yeah. If your system is supplied only by battery, just take care that battery has to stand for a maximum demand from TB around 2.5 A. That is when some device is connected to the USB.
Which means to prevent power glitches that causing resets on the Tinker board.
