Getting Started

Setting up the system

  1. Place a micro-SIM in the SIM card slot and connect a respective antennas to the SMA connectors.
  2. Mount the VAYU2 cape on Beaglebone Black.
  3. Ensure the power jumper J1 with all other jumpers according to your application use are in place.
  4. Connect the extra USB cable provided with the cape between Host port on Beaglebone Black and miniUSB device port on Cape.
  5. To avoid the bug on Beaglebone black with external USB hubs, please connect a USB device (Pendrive etc.) to extra host port on the cape.
  6. Now power up the full setup using a 5V DC adapter(min 2.5A) to barrel jack. D2 LED on the cape will glow along with LEDs on the Beaglebone black.
Note: Before powering up ensure correct software image is loaded in Beaglebone black or VIBE/VIBE2

Before proceeding further ensure D2 LED is glowing properly. Make sure that the adapter being used is of proper rating and has been connected properly.

Do not try to power up using USB cable alone. Always power up system with a DC adapter. Also while disconnecting power, USB cable should be removed before the DC adapter.
