How to get a serial console from the Robostix
Compiling
- First time:
bitbake robocontrol
- Recompiling:
bitbake -c rebuild robocontrol
USB Info
| Pin | Signal | Color | Function | Gumstix Pin | Gumstix Label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Red | +5 VDC | 24 | V_BATT |
| 2 | D- | White | Data - | 18 | USBH_N1 |
| 3 | D+ | Green | Data + | 17 | USBH_P1 |
| 4 | GND | Black | Ground | 8 | GND |
- Pull USBH_PWR1 (pin 20) up to 3.3 volts to enable the port. We can use a SOT23 package voltage regulator, such as a LM3480, and supply power to it from V_BATT (pin 24) and the output (3.3 volts) going to USBH_PWR1 (pin 20).
- For the voltage regulator, I opted for a MIC5207-3.3.

Power Issue / Resetting issue
- Robostix should be the power source, without the power mod, then both the netwifi and the robostix need 5v.
