So a track and field I am helping a friend with had some reset issue.
1) First I put in a brand new power supply not even feeling like messing around. I set the power supply to 5V even, however it still reset. Measuring the voltage at the board connector it was actually much lower.
2) Next I slowly creeped the voltage up until the reset issue went away. The final verdict was around 5.3 volts at the power supply, and 4.9 volts at the board connector. Here it is stable, no resets.
So everything seems ok, but my question is this... a .4 volt dropoff between a set of wires from the power supply that goes straight to the board connector seems like a hell of a lot. Is that normal? Any advice?
