Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

It appears the ghost is back. We keep getting errors. Everything has been fine until yesterday. Since the first time: bearings have been replaced, the ethernet cable as well as the computer motherboard.

Could there be a problem with the Beagle bone?

would be a good easy test. i have seen a few (out of many thousands) of BBG ethernet adapters that had issues

Is there a simple way to test the board? Thanks

Yes, replace it with a known good or new unit. I usually have a couple on the shelf.

I haven't really seen them go bad, but have had a few bench testing incidents, and I didn't want to have to wait for them to be shipped. Besides, they're cheap

It seems there are a variety of bones to choose from; black, blue, green...is there ONE that is compatible or will all of the above work?

Will this one be okay?

That's a BB Black Industrial, I believe the only one that works is the Seeed Studio BB Green.

No, you want the BBGreen

There is also at least two versions of the BeagleBone green, one has wifi on it. Maybe Keith will list the correct model that Centroid uses.
