Hello… I have an issue, a very big issue - the board I received for the F9R does not power up - It turns out that a very important part of the board is missing - the 3V regulator to provide power from the USB.
Looking over the advertised board on your website and also as per various distributers I can see the missing components on the board, compared with what I have. - The Board in question is the GPS-22660.
At £235 for a board I would expect this to be complete and running.
I don’t see any components missing from your board. What is missing?
5V to 3V3 regulator - without this you can never power up via the USB C
You have a completely different product.
The product you have gets powered from an attached raspberry pi, USB does not provide power.
You either ordered the wrong board or your distributor shipped the wrong part.
Yes - I can clearly see this now doing a deep investigation, Looks like a distributer muck up. -But why not standardise the design and leave the regulator on there? - looks daft to draw up two designs
It’s not needed as that board is intended to be connected to a pi that already has 3.3 volt power. Your distributor should be able to hook you up with the correct part though.
Well I suppose there are size and form factor considerations.
The smaller stand-alone has it’s place were you want to integrate with your own target platform.
The RPi one addresses the Embedded Linux space for the Pi and Nvidia Jetson type platforms, where power and direct connectivity are more prevalent.
For Arduino Shield situations, and were IOREF might be different, the ArduSimple boards are a drop-in.
It’s been my experience in this space, that one design does not address all needs
