Hi Patrick,
When I connect the bumper circuit to the HB, the HB turns itself off and
doesn’t reset until I disconnect the circuit. After disconnecting the
circuit , the HB resets without any problems.
I’ve tried another thing: when I connect only the supply and the ground to
the analog0 without the signal, the Handy Board also turns itself off.
What shall I do now? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for you reply,
Jan
