BeagleBone Blues - Broken Encoder

I’ve been having great fun playing with the BB Blue and the Strawson[1] robot. It’s a pretty rugged little balancing bot.

But today I have the first mishap. One of the encoder connectors broke off.

It shouldn’t be hard to solder it back on.

403 error Mark, we do not have permissions to see that image. e.g. I’ve done this before, and usually it’s because I had not shared the image properly, and / or the link I’ve given was for my eyes only.

Let’s try pasting it in rather than a URL.

And it was a quick repair!

So, it broke off the EduMIP and not the Blue? I want to be sure we have good stability on the Blue connectors.

Yup, it broke off the EduMIP, not the Bone. My tech tells me it was a marginal solder job. I think his solder job will last much longer.
