Production Testing

Setup

• Install BBB-GVS-3 on BBB
• Install shunt at SYS on 5VSEL
• Install shunt at WE
• Ethernet connection to BBB
• Power via 5V jack to BBB
• Verify 5V and 3.3V LEDs are lit
• Log in via putty
  • User = root
  • Password = enter

Analog Testing

• Connect GRID49 card with resistor ladder
• (8) 10K resistors
• From 1.8V to all 7 inputs to ground
• Input in 1/8 steps
• Run analog ladder code

cd ~/pyBBB/BBB-GVS-3/analogLadder
python analogLadder.py
 

• Pass/Fail message will be displayed

val0  0.625
val1  0.125
val2  0.75
val3  0.248888894916
val4  0.498888880014
val5  0.372777789831
val6  0.875
PASS - Analog values match expected ladder values
