Brickpi not responding

[martin.srb]

Hi,

I just got new BrickPi3 from reseller. I mount it on Raspberry PI 3B+ as per instructions. I can boot the dexter raspbian image but after that it seems the BrickPi is not working at all.

I connected the power supply to the BrickPi connector. Green led on it is on. It supplies the Raspberry Pi too. I can connect to GoPiGo Wi-Fi. I can connect to the web page which say that my BrickPi is not connected. If I try to connect by ssh pi@dex.local with robots1234 I always get access denied.

The ports are using I2C I guess. Should the Brickpi be alive I would expect those ports to be powered at least but this is not the case.

I tried with ev3dev latest image also. Here I can run the python code but any time I try to use any Lego HW I get an exception that it is not connected.

Is there anything I can check before I send the BrickPi back to reseller for replacement?

Thanks for advice. GoPiGo!

Martin

I used DexterOS instead Raspbian for robots which was a mistake. So now I installed Rapsbian for robots and updated BrickPi firmware and it works just fine.

Thanks

Are they all the same thing or extensions of one another? 2017.09.28_Dexter_Industries_CINCH 3.8gb 2017.09.28_Dexter_Industries_jessie 3.8gb DexterOS-1.1.1-Final 3.8gb The instruction page lists and links to all three…

[SOLVED] Raspberry Pi asks for password only for DexterOs; does not accept "raspberry"

When I bought the basic GoPiGo3 kit ($99), bought my own Raspberry Pi, created my own DexterOs SD image, everything worked fine, however. . . When I bought the complete GoPiGo3 kit ($199), used Dexter’s Raspberry Pi and SD card preloaded with the DexterOs, it prompts me for a login and password.The usual “pi” and “raspberry” does not work. I tried with Raspbian for Robots and Cinch and it doesn’t ask for a password and I get to the desktop fine. When I create my own DexterOs SD card, it also pr…
