1.75 board Below are measurements taken with the Orbitty Carrier running in various configurations. Some values will change depending on what operation or software is installed. Please refer to the module manufacturer’s manual for full details on the current consumption of the particular module you are using.
Connect Tech also offers a custom BSP to add in additional peripheral support on CTI’s TX1 Carrier Boards. In the case of the Orbitty Carrier board the CTI-L4T will expose software control of the TX1 Fan PWM (Fan Speed Control). Once the CTI-L4T is deployed, users must enable the S1 DIP Switch to put the Fan into the PWM Enabled mode, to use this feature.
CAUTION: ALWAYS CONNECT ALL EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL DEVICES BEFORE CONNECTING THE INPUT POWER SUPPLY Connecting a device while powered on may damage the Orbitty Carrier or peripheral device. Procedure to place system in Force USB Recovery Mode: 1) Power OFF the Orbitty. The Orbitty MUST be powered OFF, and not in a suspend or sleep state.
Thermal Details The Orbitty Carrier Board has an Operating Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C. However, it is important to note that the NVIDIA Jetson TX1 Module has its own properties separate to that of the Orbitty Carrier Board.
