Treadmill Belt Pulses After Power Cycling

Quick take: The 5 V regulator resets the microcontroller, causing momentary belt bursts.

A failing 5 V regulator can lead to unexpected resets of the microcontroller, which may result in momentary disruptions, such as belt bursts in connected systems. These resets can compromise the reliability and performance of your equipment, making it essential to address the issue promptly.

To resolve this problem, UpFix offers a comprehensive service that includes swapping out the faulty regulator with a more reliable low-dropout type. This replacement ensures that the microcontroller receives a stable power supply, minimizing the risk of resets during operation.

Additionally, we conduct rigorous stress-testing of the firmware by performing 50 power-cycles. This step is crucial in verifying the stability and functionality of the system after the regulator replacement. By running these tests, we can confirm that the issue has been resolved and that your system can operate smoothly without interruptions.
