Hello silver2row,
thanks for your continuous will to support.
The PWM out of the BeagleBone Black is not a problem for me. Right now I’m familiar with the device tree overlays in general. But also in including/loading them via uEnv.txt or configure them myself via device tree source file (dts) first, “make” them, copy them to /lib/firmware and including/loading them in uEnv.txt.
It doesn’t matter if I did a pinmux via “config-pin” or via device tree overlay for P9.14 and then free wiring the cape, or a loading the complete device tree overlay (BBORG_MOTOR-00A0) and attach the cape fully on the BeagleBone Black.
In the first trials with pinmux only one pin and free wiring, everything looks quite good, beside the missing output at the motor terminal.
After the second trial with cape device tree overlay and attached cape, the BeagleBone Black won’t start anymore, if the VDD3V3 connection is pluged into the cape. Figured out with free wiring. It results seemingly in a shortcut, so the voltage drops to almost zero.
Q: Do you had been involved in the construction/engineering process of the cape?
Q: Can you assist me (e.g. how to measure at specific points) to justify a failure of the cape?
