manufacture and passed quality control checks, while the wiring diagram on the ProbotixPBX-BB Wiki webpage may have been updated to reflect a new design. With the input DCvoltage matching the polarity of the markings of the board, there was no measured voltage on theoutput pins. The polarity of the input DC voltage was changed to match the wiring diagram andwith 31.97VDC applied to the input terminals, 7.36VDC was measured on the breakout board 5VDC output pins. According to BeagleBone.org, the maximum voltage that may be applied tothe BeagleBone’s power terminals is 5.2VDC [7]. If a voltage greater than 5.2VDC is applied tothe power terminals, the BeagleBone will not power up. These findings further supported thehypothesis that the voltage regulator
