Left right usb power **solved**

Post by Jawi »

Hello, the normal power connection is the left side of the USB to power the meteobridge, but it won't start, the right xconnection gives me the option to boot again, this has happened at 5 o'clock this morning, a reboot was not a successful, swapping the power plug brought it back, to live.

Please comment, suggestions ??

Then left connector seems to be defective. You can run it with the right connector,
but then voltage/current/watts data will not be measured. These micro USB connectors
cannot stand too much force, so please be nice to them. When we program the units we
power with the left connector, but obviously the assumed breach happened after that.

I guess you have the MB PRO from ambient (as they told me a similar incident story).
Please ask them for a swap.

Reading your answer,
sound to me that it could be damaged by, just standing in/on its spot, where it has found it's place for almost 7 months, and than the power cord could become to have ? who is attached(left) and resting on the support (place holder)

No offence here, but could the design implement a better cable/usb support? (plug goes in to the plastic back of the unit)
Bought at Weerspecialist.nl at September 2017. has run without problems until Sun 19 of march.

Your sincerely.

When I have it in my hands, I will be able to find out. I think weerspecialist is doing the swap.
If not, we can also handle that directly. Just drop a note to "info(at)meteobridge.com".
