Hi,
I have recently orered a brickpi, but it does not work. It does not show any sign of life (are there supposed to be leds ?).
I’m using the battery pack with fully charged 8AA batteries (multimeter shows nearly 11V output…). This is enough to power up the RPi (I removed the micro usb power to ensure the device is running on the batteries).
The troubleshoting script returns -2. Reading other posts I assume the BrickPi is dead and needs to be replaced.
Since I’m in Europe and ordered it directly in the USA, additional taxes were charged when importing the device. Let’s make sure we avoid this with the replacement…
