I have lately been working with some PoE stuff for surveillance cameras. In this process, I have discovered an entire world of PoE devices now availab...
I have no new info to offer on my Pi5 running on DC. Still using the inverter method for the time being. I wanted to post a video from Andreas Spies...
@zander @davee, I am still following this thread with interest. But I don't have any new data points to offer or any insights into USB standards and p...
@zander. I looked at those links. Thanks for posting. They look promising. I am tempted, but hesitant to spend more money until they specifically say ...
@davee. Thanks for weighing in. Possibly while you were typing, I was Kicking-and-Screamingly implementing Plan B. Which as you saw, inverter works fo...
OK, so this does work. Not elegant. Not efficient. Not space saving. But it works. Left: 20-60 volt input --> 12v, 5 amp output dc-dc converter. ...
Thanks for the follow-up. Sorry your tests were equally bad. But at least we achieved some scientific method with peer review. :) My robots tend to...
The new Anker powerbank arrived today. Unfortunately, test results are not good. It performs worse than the other Anker I got recently. Using this one...
@zander Yes, always keeping an eye out for consulting opportunities, side gigs, contracts etc. Life situation doesn't allow me a normal fulltime job ...
@metronus-prime Exactly. I have been watching home robots on Youtube. There are some that are extremely nimble and dexterous. But it got me thinking, ...
Understandable. I spent a couple weeks exploring options and settled on the little travel router and MQTT. Works for me, but might not be best for you...
@metronus-prime I was running into similar issue on how to multiple ESP32s on a robot. I settled on a solution using a tiny travel router, Raspberry P...
Wow, awesome. Thanks for the additional data points. Yes, running stock Pi fives, no overclocking. If the robot demands more compute in the future,...
@zander I am using this command to see the details:pi5-2@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd pmic_read_adc Below is the data from Pi5 on OEM wall wart, at idle...
That is kind of my thought, too. Still not getting full 5A, but at least it is not shutting down and throwing errors non-stop. I ordered the exact mod...
