01:07 <set_> How could I break the Relay Cape?

01:08 <set_> I am no longer upset or in an unknowledgeable phase right now. I think I broke my ole Cape, i.e. the Relay Cape.

01:08 <set_> When I plug it in to an am335x supported BBGW or BBBW, the Relay Cape renders the board useless. It will not boot!

01:10 <set_> Could a mechanical switch create the am335x boards from not booting, e.g. BBBW/BBGW?

01:16 <set_> I mean...I can understand the power issue on the BBGW. I do not have a barrel jack on the BBGW.

01:16 <set_> But...it worked more than once. It had me fooled.

01:16 <set_> I think powering the Switch is needed.

01:17 <set_> I broke it. Dang it.

01:18 <set_> I take the Cape off the boards, boom. Boot! I put the Relay Cape on, short. So, I think one of the Cape, probably relay1, Relays is busted.

01:18 <set_> Off to test!

01:18 <set_> I can remove the faulty one (hopefully).

01:23 <set_> I think running relay1 w/out a PSU or some form of power created the relay1 on the Relay Cape to attack the BBGW/BBBW.

01:23 <set_> Argh.

01:24 <set_> For instance, nothing was attached to the relay1. I just ran the source and heard the click.

01:24 <set_> Blah.

01:39 <set_> Solved, not enough paperwork on the device and my idiot self being me!

01:40 <set_> Aw! I am going to make a note to self and in the docs. for people like me who think clicks and onboard LEDs are enough to run this Cape.

01:44 <set_> Up. There goes the update. Blah. Now, I cannot get in. My page is not even responding. Hmm.

01:53 <set_> GenTooMan: How can we convince the mfg. of the Relay Cape, if indeed this Cape will continue, to make a fool proof approximation on users like me who think relay1 (any relay really) does not need an attachment to handle viewing the LED onboard and the sound of the click?

01:54 <set_> For instance, is there a fall back plan for users like me (those of us who break stuff by accident)?

01:54 <set_> Like...circuitry.

01:54 <set_> ...

01:56 <set_> Something that keeps people safe when unknowingly creating issues w/out understandings... I understand that it is 75% fool proof as of now since the issue did not fry the BBBW or BBGW.

01:56 <set_> Luckily, is it worth researching?

02:01 <set_> These are very strong relays. They can handle many voltages and amps AC/DC.

02:01 <set_> I think a breaker would be smart...

02:05 <set_> Ladder logic? I think I am learning again!
