Re: Need Schematic for STK1A32SC -- or ANY Atom x5-Z83xx-based System with AXP288 PMI

The second one -- the "CircuitCo Sharks Cove" PDF -- that looks especially helpful.

The relevant circuit is on Page 37... I wish I knew better what value they'd used for CR5A2, but I can probably figure out something adequate from the parts bin. The tricky thing for me is that I can't really afford a custom PCB so I've got to replicate in perfboard... which means thru-hole only components. Yipe.

AXP288C. Apologies, I had classified that as a revision of the AXP288 because sometimes I'm dumb

We all have our moments!

Speaking of which, the reason I put this thread where I did was, was that I've always had these stick computers described as, this is intended to make a Not-Smart-TV TV into a Smart TV. (No idea why, it doesn't really make sense to me, either.) Clarity: not arguing, explaining why I did the dumb. It makes more sense where it is now, and I appreciate...

I have an Intel STK1A32SC Compute Stick... and a baaad case of The Stubborns somehow I always 'forget' until just after it's too late that (a) the slightest application of heat to the power button shorts it internally, permanently, rendering the system unbootable, and (b) removing the button entirely, being a tiny tiny tiny momentary 'tact' switch, and surface-mount to boot, invariably destroys the support circuit for it, immediately adjacent.

Ooooops

I can read datasheets and understand electronics reasonably well; the AXP288 is the PMIC -- power management...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi! Created an account forever ago (probably just to nab schematics)... making a post here because I now need to [I]request[/I] schematics and I'd not been expecting that at the time.

But I don't learn so easily (by which I mean I'm too stubborn for my own good!) :-/ and so I tend to blow up a lot of Intel Compute Sticks and clones because the power switch would be [I]really[/I] handy if you could extend it... but even the slightest whiff of soldering iron heat and it shorts shut... and inevitably, trying to remove...
