<p>as expected, we have trouble! it draws like 1.5 watts while the supply is sagging down to 3.6 V. those 1.5 watts are going somewhere, and it sure as heck isn&#39;t the STM32 or the ublox M8! time for some thermal imaging</p><p>the fusion is pretty bad at this distance, but it&#39;s probably this capacitor has broken down</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.fuzzy.systems/@ChlorideCull" class="u-url mention">@<span>ChlorideCull</span></a></span> excellent question! how do i check?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I am very much looking forward to your analysis. 😀 Though I&#39;d also have been very interested in workarounds of the protection mechanisms.</p>

<p>ok, now i just need to power it</p><p>conveniently, there is silk that explains how to do that</p><p>it uses an LDO, so i don&#39;t think i actually need +24V, probably anything above 5V will work. i&#39;ll hook it up to a current limited supply first</p>
