Hello,

My station has an issue on the power supply connection, and I can’t power on my RBOOM.

Do you know how I can fix this issue ?

Hello Ben, and welcome back to the community.

As it appears that the micro-USB power socket is cracked, I think you have two options:

  1. Replace the Raspberry Pi board with a new one, paying attention to the fact that your Shake name will change after, as it depends on the Pi board MAC address (Raspberry Shake Station Naming Convention); or

  2. Implement a Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution similar to what is described here: Power over Ethernet (PoE) - #10 by Hadders

One of the above should restore your BOOM to working conditions, so you can have it online again.

Ok thanks.
If I replace the RPI, will I loose my datas linked to my station ?

No, all data you have recorded until you change the RPi will remain stored on our server under your old Shake name.

In the same way, the new data will appear under the new Shake name. You’ll be able to access both datasets as you do now.

Ok, I replace the RPi for 50€, and it works well.

Thank you for your help !
