Hi,
I have problems with NANOs when they are feeding at 14,2 V (automotive).
Is the NANO from GRAVITECH is able to work fine in this case ? I have a MEGA (original) which do that from many years …
Thanks for your answer …
Michel
Hey @RIAZ
Do you mean an Arduino Nano made by Gravitech? If that is the case, here are the specifications for input voltage:
Input Voltage (recommended) 7-12 V
Input Voltage (limits) 6-20 V
It should be fine but take some precaution and lower the voltage under 12V
Thanks for your answer …
Yes I mean NANO made by GRAVITECH …
What do you mean when you say “some precaution” ? May the temperature be at the origin of problems ?
Michel
I mean that since the recommended voltage supply to the nano is between 7v-12v, it would be better to keep it between this range.
If the chip on your nano goes over 70 degrees Celsius, you ought to worry and move it to a place it won’t heat so much. If you live in a cold area, temperatures under -40 Celsius is not ideal either.
Apart from that, what kind of problem do your nanos have?
OK for the voltage range …
After correct runing during 10mn 3 or 4 times, they stoped and it is impossible to connect them with USB (no port avaible )…
It’s probably dead but just to be sure, are you able to see it in your device manager when you plug it in your computer?
Next time, I suggest that you buy a buck converter to lower the voltage near 7v-8v. A higher voltage on the nano means that the on-board converter must work “harder” to bring the tension down and will heat more.
Also, if your product is still under warranty, you could try to contact Gravitech here: [email protected]
