I Can't power it up

Posted by adriano nocenzi on April 30, 2013 at 5:07am

Hi, i just got the board, and i very new to all this project, my issue at the moment is i can't power the board up, i'm using windows 7 on mac book pro with virtual machine, and nexus 7 usb cable.

I do plug the usb straight in the board, with the jumper off, and i don't have any activity, no leds, i check the device manager under the com ports nothing.

any help to resolve, do i miss something?

Thanks

    Is this APM 2.0 or 2.5?

    Are you using the USB cable that was provided with the APM?

    Does your PC supply power via the USB port?

    Try a USB charger adapter - Mains(AC) to USB power --->USB ---->APM.

    It is possible that the APM side USB fuse has been opened.  :(

    If you can read electrical schematics, see my two simplified power schematics HERE.

    They are two of the featured discussions.
