Hi Reuben,
I am powering the BeagleBone through Robotics Cape (using 2A 12V power supply). Let me do a little experimentation. I’ll take off the cape and power directly from a 2A 5V power supply to see if the behavior changes. The only other thing that’s powered by BeagleBone is a GPS module, not sure if it’s drawing enough power to cause issue. I’ll take that off too. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thank you!
Alex
