Re: [Gumstix-users] Powering Gumstix, Robostix, netpro-vx combo through board power pins

Solved the problem.

The ground pads on my power jack had come off. So just shorted the ground
from the Motor_Power Pins to the power jack ground.

Just posting for other peoples benefit. 

Th power connectors on the robostix can come off if one is not very careful.
