Help Request: Custom RTK Facet PCB Issue

Hello,
It was a component short problem, which was solved.
Now, firmware binary installation works flawlessly; however, when compiling via source code through Arduino. There was no problem with functionality, except when we shut down using the button. It automatically turns on after a few seconds. Is this a problem, or is this how the firmware is set up?

Hi @JIGOD ,

Check diode D4 (BAS16J) in the soft power switch circuit. If it is leaking current (Cathode to Anode), the dual-FET can turn on again.

The diode leakage current is temperature dependent. If you have any “canned air” (computer air duster), spray a little onto D4 to cool it. Does the Facet stay off when the diode is cold?

I hope this helps,
Paul

Spray with the can upside down for super cooling :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:.

Yup. Then you spray liquid instead of cold gas! :wink: (I’m glad I’m not the only crazy one!)
