Troubleshooting Iotiny Power Issue

Skip to comments   Jump to end

I'm using a DC jack plug for the IoTiny, but the device does not power on. The fuse is fine, and the thickness of the DC plug is 5.3 mm, which is the same as the EZ-Robot adapter. The IoTiny powers on with the adapter, but not with this DC jack plug configuration. I am measuring 8.30 volts on the screws and pin of the DC plug. The jack plug fits all the way into the IoTiny. What could be the issue?

Hi Dave_Schulpius,

I know-sometimes even the smallest mounting issue can turn into a real mess! It’s a good reminder to always double-check the screw length and mounting hardware when working with these compact boards.

If you’re ever mounting an IoTiny again, here are a couple of tips:

  • Screw Length & Spacers: Use the correct screw size and consider using washers or spacers to ensure the screws don’t press too deeply.
  • Careful Installation: Inspect the board and measure the mounting holes before securing it to avoid any accidental damage.

It's always a learning experience, and sharing these moments helps everyone avoid similar issues.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance with your ARC projects!

Happy building!
