Broken Hardware Again

Stephen Michael Kellat at

I did not think a C.H.I.P. would be that fragile. All I did was disconnect the power adapter from the power strip, swap in a UPS, and plug it back in. It does not work now. Essentially the Outernet receiver is dead for the moment. With the C.H.I.P. folks re-tooling again, I have to wait to get a new board to flash to have Outernet reception. Since this has been an external evaluation, I may wind up writing the paper way sooner than expected with far harsher reporting.


I'll check in the morning to see if it comes back up. If not, we've got one more avenue to check options-wise (re-flashing) before calling the hardware dead.
