Hi all,
by mistake I connected the limit switches positive common wire to 24V so when I powered up the TinyG I saw a small flame over the CPU and then lots of smoke :-|
Can I get away from this error by just replacing the CPU chip or are there other components that might also be dead?
Applied 24V to limit switches input by mistake
Based on you description of what happened, I would not recommend spend a lot of time and money on this tinyG. 24 V and 3V logic don't mix well, and there is no way to quantify which interfaces(chips) may have been affected.
BTW, because tinyG has a lerge ground area that also act as a heat spreader,
Soldering even a few pins is a difficult task.
Sorry, RIP tinyG
Thanks for your reply, yeah I already ordered a new one.
If I have the time I'll try to repair it, if I manage to do it I'll post here the result :-)
