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 ...

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...

@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...
