Re: Just purchased Arpicade and nothing comes on at all

I was getting 5.1 with the board turned on. The Pi is still not booting even with the edge measuring 5.1v. After talking to Joe over at HSS yesterday - we basically found for some weird reason if I plug in a power cable to the Pi everything works as expected. It's almost as if the 5v isn't doing muc...

Re: Just purchased Arpicade and nothing comes on at all

Also - when you said "f you only have one 5v wire from the harness to the power supply you may want to add some more wire for 5v and GND to your harness." I have seen that on a couple of other posts. How would I go about doing that exactly? That may very well be my problem. I was able to test the vo...

Re: Just purchased Arpicade and nothing comes on at all

So while you were typing that I tested the power directly with a standard micro USB cable and an in-wall usb power supply. The red light came on and immediately I got the green activity light which I assume means everything was booting as normal. Now I guess I have to determine why I’m not getting t...

Re: Just purchased Arpicade and nothing comes on at all

The only change I made to 3.X was changing the hdmi mode to 1. I don’t have a way to measure the output at this point from the power supply. I had just assumed that the power draw would be about the same as the Pandora.

I ordered it as hi res. Made sure to get the LCD/LED option pre-installed. I didn’t make any changes to it.

Re: Just purchased Arpicade and nothing comes on at all

Ah ok. I was just going by the downloads page on the website. I’ll try that version and see if that gets me anywhere. Thanks.
