Motors and relays can generate a lot of electrical noise and spikes, that could easily cause the BBB to crash.
You need to isolate the BBB power system from the power system driving the motors in particular, and from the rest of your "thing" in general. I don't see any big capacitors in the photo to help with current surges, spikes, electrical noise. --- Graham == On Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at 7:34:32 AM UTC-6, Matthew Collier wrote: > > Hello, > I am currently working with the beaglebone black running on board eMMC > flash with Debian.
