Odd issues with minty pi, freezing etc...
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:22 am
So, I have just finished my second minty pi. In this one I have used the battery monitor board. I have noticed an odd issue when I am trying to install the battery monitor script from HoolyHoo. When I go to run the MintyInstall.sh (using putty) it gets part way through and then the whole system freezes. The green activity LED no longer lights up on the pi. The screen remains on and shows whatever was on last (retropie menu etc), none of the buttons works, and I am forced to power off using the switch. I was never able to actually install the script.
My next step is to open it up and put the v3 image on, to skip the process of installing the script, i'll do that after work. In the meantime, I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem? Would there be a reason running the script would strain the system enough to freeze? Or should I be looking for other hardware related issues?
My setup includes the adadfruit micro lipo, and 1200mah battery (fully charged), along with all of helder's parts and a pi zero w. I have checked all solder points and get continuity on everything. I am reading ~3.7V on the VCC and GND pads (on Helder's board, and on the pi itself), and ~3.3V on the VCC for the screen. Everything seems to check out.
