Udoo HDMI Stick?

invalid@example.com (wmcig) — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 06:38:00 +0000

Hi.
I am new to udoo. I wanna know, if there is any project with udoo to make an HDMI TV Stick, like e.g. Fire TV Stick or Chromecast?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Should I use paper washer to isolate my board?

invalid@example.com (Paulo José De Almeida) — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 18:36:22 +0000

I'm using my board as a mobile/portable solution powered by a 12V batterie pack, in a aluminum housing, transported by hands/shoulder with a strap. When it's being used in laboratory, it's powered by a 12V source, properly stable and grounded.

That being, my housing is not necessarily grounded and, in most cases, the user handling the assembled device will be using insulated shoes for their own protection.

My question is: should use paper washers for insulating my board from the metallic...

UDOO Regulatory approvals (FCC/CE)

invalid@example.com (disneysw) — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 17:23:26 +0000

Going by this kick starter post the UDOO has both FCC and CE approval https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ud ... sts/559926.

Where can I find the FCC ID (issued as apart of the approval process) and a signed copy of the CE Certificate?

Also does the board have any other approvals/certifications?

Neo GPIO Input Impedance

invalid@example.com (Matt_Neo) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 20:32:47 +0000

Hi,
In my 12 years' experience as a hardware engineer, usually microcontroller GPIO pins have input impedance of at least 1 Megaohm... but some work I'm doing with Neo right now seems to be hinting that it's quite a bit lower (when the pins are set to digital input of course). The spec sheet only seems to mention something called 'keeper circuit resistance' which is about 100k... That's not the way I've usually seen the spec described... and it also seems crazy low. Does anyone know what the...

Neo Output Power (Current Sourcing) Specs

invalid@example.com (Matt_Neo) — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 18:04:44 +0000

Hi,

I'm looking for specs on how much power (or current) the Neo can source from the two 3V3 pins and the 5V0 pin, all on the internal side of J7. If someone from Udoo could please provide that info it would be much appreciated.

At this time I'd also like to offer the constructive criticism (or ask why it's being done this way): Why do you have the forum search rules that...

? Udoo Part Library for Fritzing or eagle Files ?

invalid@example.com (rootScript) — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 01:57:35 +0000

Hello All,
I have just downloaded Fritzing Software http://fritzing.org/download/ and I was hoping to start laying out bread boards in relation to Udoo Quad.
I noticed that there are a range of Arduino boards to choose from, and that there is a very large Sparkfun Library, and also that you can add other libraries such as Adafruit, Atlas scientific etc... so that as well adding standard resistors, capacititors, you can also add Sparkfuns breakout boards etc... and start connect...

Can a SATA I cable work with sata III ?

invalid@example.com (Hill Amar) — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 15:10:16 +0000

Hello,
I have new motherboard having the new SATA III ports. I have a new Seagate 1 TB HDD which is of SATA III (6 GB/s) . I was wondering if I can use one of the old SATA I cables off my old mother board for this. Do you think I can do this and if yes, will there be any performance difference ? Or is this too much of a risk.

Thanks!

serial0 not available

Hello Everyone,
Trying to use a UDOOneo to receive and send serial data from my PC to test a communication protocol I am trying (trying being the key word) to write.

Anyways using the following code I should be able to see a single byte being received but nothing happens in the Serial Monitor window, but I am not super familiar with programming for adruino so I may be missing something obvious

int incomingByte = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1);

UDOO Power Consumption

invalid@example.com (DracoLlasa) — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 13:39:38 +0000

[Update: Dec-27 2-13]
Hey guys, i have redone the UDOO Power consumption testing. Tests were completed for both the UDOO Dual and UDOO Quad using the Ubuntu 12.04 image, results in the link.
An interesting thing was found regarding power, in that upon startup the X Server / desktop runs and churns on CPU cycles and in turn power. If left for about 10 minutes with no desktop activity, this stops and there is a notable drop in power consumption. In most of the testing...

Hello,
I have recently noticed that I am unable to set a HIGH voltage on GPIO pins 8-15 on the Arduino on my UDOO x86 Ultra. The code I am running is:

Its very nice to see single board computer taking over other computers out there.
Udoo has almost everything what we need but if it adds the better CPU,Graphics card (nvidea or radeon),battery backup,maximum internal storage capacity(min 500gb to 1tb..) and if it comes up like mac mini box (udoo tiny box may be half the size of it kkkk transparent box with led ) and the most important factor great specification with reasonable or lower price or half the price of laptop or price of budget...

Motion sensors

invalid@example.com (Shayne Rich) — Thu, 31 May 2018 05:53:25 +0000

I understand the Udoo has a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyro. I have a few questions:

1- What are the actual sensors used?
2- How are the sensors interfaced? I assume there is some kind of driver that makes the sensor data available to applications. Is there some kind of SDK provided?
3- What is the sampling rate?
4- What is the bandwidth of the sensor?

Thanks

How easy can the UDOO QDL/Neo be bricked

invalid@example.com (Maurice) — Thu, 17 May 2018 11:12:18 +0000

Let's say one uses a UDOO Quad, Dual or a Neo in a school environment. Apart from the powered UDOO board there is no other power source. Can these boards be damaged by wrong wiring? Like from the +5v to input port, from the +5v to the +3.3v power source, etc etc.

Apart from making mistakes kids are eager to experiment 'what happens if'', which is a great way to learn, but not if you have to bear the costs of replacement.

Problem using Software Serial, is there any alternative option

Hi There,
I am working with some IoT related stuffs. Recently, I bought an UDOO NEO(FULL) Board and I tried to use PMS1003(Dust Sensor). The code consists of a function " Serial.find(0x42)". During compilation it shows an error as unambiguous use of "find(int)". I tried the code without this function the program then compiles but it provides an incorrect output. Can anybody please help me to use the find function (or any other solution).

There seem to be quite a few battery related questions popping up at random.

There are many different battery technologies, each with their pros and cons/characteristics - such as: power density, weight, cost, Depth Of Discharge, Safe Rate of Charge, Safe Rate of Discharge, Self Discharge Rate, number of charge cycles etc.

If anyone has any questions, battery related, ask here and we'll sort you out as best we can with answers/advice.

minimize sleep power consumption for solar powered system

invalid@example.com (spinxz) — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 19:50:30 +0000

Hi,
I am trying to build a sensor/meteorological station with the Udoo. However, the system will have to run "in the wild" on a battery which is charged with a solar panel. The station transmits sensor data via a 4G modem.

The Udoo (quad) uses approx. 450mA when running without peripherals. This is far too much for my solar/battery powered system. Instead, I just wake up the Udoo every hour to read out the sensor data and transmit them to a webserver.

So my question is what is the best...

Using KIT LCD15.6" Touch LCD with imx6 sabre infotainment platform

Hello all,

I am trying to connect KIT LCD 15.6" Touch LCD ( from UDOO ) with Imx6 Sabre Infotainment platform by NXP.

Specifically, the board I am using from NXP is combination of MCIMX6xAICPU2 (with sabre quad cpu) and MCIMXABASEV1 (base board).
I uploaded Yocto OS to Imx6 Sabre Infotainment platform using SD card.
I managed to match the LVDS pin maps between UDOO LCD panel and Imx6 Infotainment board.
Also, I properly powered 12V to the UDOO LCD using EXT POWER provided by NXP's base...
