I got my framework 16 1st batch, but due to me dropping the macropad, support forgot to add the blank inserts back into the order. It seems like every time I try to boot, I get the following error:
Im guessing they expect that you have the input modules, or the way the wiring is done you need to have them there for continuity of the signal??Im not too sure, but I cant use the keybaord becasue of this lol. Any advice besides waiting for support to answer me back?
I haven’t seen Framework mention that before. It might check for the presence of spacers using the Board_ID pin. The Minimal small input module example board has a 180k resistor between the Board_ID pin and ground.
It would work if I installed an OS yet. The keyboard and mouse just don’t work atm, so I couldn’t use the BIOS. I will need to pull out a USB keyboard to mess around with it
So it seems like you can force the modules to power on regrdless if all are installed or if they missaligned. Im currently forcing them on so i can use the keyboard and mouse in the time being lol
Correct. The reason we check for all input modules being present is to avoid a scenario where the pogo pin connectors are powered up and exposed. You can disable this check in BIOS, but you’ll need to be careful to not keep the connectors exposed in a way that something could touch them and short the connection.
