matlabbe Posted June 25, 2016 at 11:18 PM Share Posted June 25, 2016 at 11:18 PM Hi, Today I tried to use the IMU brick 2.0 connected by USB to my laptop (Ubuntu 14.04). The brick viewer didn't show anymore the IMU after clicking "connect". It seems like the USB is not working as "lsusb" doesn't show anything when I plug it. The LEDs about the orientation seem working when I move the IMU. So I tried the buttons on the side, "Reset" and "Erase". When I pushed both at the same time, all LEDs on the board went OFF (like if the USB cable is unplugged). Now if a plug/unplug USB, the LEDs stay OFF. Is there a trick with the side buttons to factory reset the board? I also noticed 3 weeks ago a small leak on one of the component of the board (see inside yellow rectangle of the attachment) but it was still working... it may have caused to new problem. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photron Posted June 27, 2016 at 07:52 AM Share Posted June 27, 2016 at 07:52 AM Your IMU Brick is in bootloader mode now, due to the button press. You need to flash it again, see: http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brickv.html#using-brick-viewer About the "leak": the beige component is a ceramic capacitor that has nothing inside it that could leak. Can you wipe off the "leaked" stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
