Hello All-
New ioTiny is booting up with an audio loop.
I want it to stop.This happens even when there is no wifi connection.
Does the ioTiny have flashable memory on it?
Edit - Reset button took care of audio loop.
Dave I thought that could be a possibility so I password protected the wifi. Still does it.
This happens when ARC is closed and wifi is not connected. Yes I can take a video of it.
This is happening on 2 brand new iotinys.
This is so weird.
I see the problem - looking at your diagnostic log, the battery voltage is below 7 volts. It's not saying "your mommy smells" hahahahaha! It's saying "your battery is low". And it will repeat for ever.
Now, you say you're using a lipo battery. I want to let you know that dropping it below the 7 volt threshold is dangerous to lipo batteries. They will puff up and risk exploding. The battery monitor is to ensure lipo batteries do not drop below 7 volts. I absolutely do not recommend disabling the battery monitor with lipo batteries. What ever you do, do not disable the battery monitor if using lipo batteries.
The fix for this is simple. You can charge the lipo battery. By charging it, you'll be able to use the iotiny once again
Here is your diagnostic log for reference... (I highlighted the "battery voltage" during the last connection")
Back when I was working at EZ-Robot, we did a video on how to maintain lipo batteries. As for the puffy and exploding warning, fast forward to 7 minutes and 30 seconds in this video...I swear to you it was saying your mommy smells not your battery is low.
I have not disabled any low power settings.
I did a reset last night again and cleared my browser cache and removed ARC and all supporting files.
Today the issue is not happening. I will get my lipo volt reader to watch the status of this lipo better.
I spoke to Dennis at ez-robot as well. Im going to see if it happens again.
Like mentioned it happened on both io-tinys and makes sense could be battery. BUT I swear it was saying my mommy smells. No joking here.
Looks like I was right in post #13. "Your battery is low". However, I'm sorry if I made it sound like you should disable your voltage monitor. DJ is correct, It's a safety measure to have that reminder.
I'm glad you're making progress.
haha now all you're going to hear in your head is "my mommy smells" instead of "my battery is low". Once you hear something, it's hard to unhear
I tested both iotinys and it is not doing it, honestly I think it may have been cached in ARC somewhere. I will record it if it appears again. It happened all weekend. Gone now. I'm glad to see everyone pull together to help. Thank you.
hey @athena if I wanted to replace the iotiny file that stores the message "my battery is low" to another file that says "my mommy smells" how would I go about doing this. (sorry couldn't resist)
