BitCubeTV Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Pineapple Hardware Version: Mark IV Pineapple Software Version: 2.8.0 OS used to connect to the pineapple: Macintosh/Linux Network layout of how your setup is connected: Ethernet from WAN/LAN to computer All the tools/options that are running on the pineapple when the issue happened: Ping results from computer to pineapple: N/A Is the problem repeatable: Yes Steps taken which created the problem: Out of box Error Messages: N/A Log file information: Sometimes when I goto "cd /dev" and then "ls" instead of seeing sda1 and sda2, I see something like sda and sg0, and sometimes the USB won't even show up anywhere. Anything else that was attempted to 'fix' the problem: Well if I plug the Pineapple into the wall it solves the problem, so it has to be a power problem.

deathdealerxx Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yah the pineapple really wants 12v instead of 5v. I also have had the same problems with my sandisk cruzer. I went out and bought a 10 dollar usb drive called a tuff n go by Verbatim, my pineapple works fine running from 5v. But I can confirm that my sandisk will work if the Wifi Pineapple is plugged into 12v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they give you a USB that won't work from a USB powered plug? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdealerxx Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Well yes and no. My sandisk cruzer will work if I plug it into the pineapple after it boots running from 5v. This device is technically supposed to be powered from 12v. Just like with many devices if you don't give the required voltage problems can occur. Although I have read in many posts, that several people have had no issues with their sandisk running from the 5v provided by usb. I'm sure it in some cases it could be a users hardware that is causing problems (does your laptop or desktop usb port provide enough voltage and amperage to power the device correctly) Edited April 30, 2013 by deathdealerxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I get it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesugarat Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I have an 8G Sandisk I purchased and it had power issues when running on battery/USB power. I don't know if it has anything to do with the size but I imagine the bigger the storage the more power it takes. I've had great luck with 4gig USB drives running just fine off of the USB power source. Specifically this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820154027 It's a LaCie MosKeyto... Also a smaller 2Gig pico drive works but I wanted more storage space for logs as well as Infusion expansion. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
