I haven't used the header pins much, but there are two solder pads under the USB power plug that I like to solder 5v wires to directly. Same for the USB data pads for any USB devices that go inside the case.
Any recommendations for Pi 5 battery power?
Has anyone here done any experiments yet to see what works? I'll get a pi 5 in the mail in the next week, hopefully, and will be trying a couple setups to see what gives voltage warnings and whatnot...
- Amp Ripper 4k and 1s pack
- 4s pack with separate charger and buck converter for the pi.
The buck converter route might work better on the pi5 than previous boards because of it's built in power on/off/suspend controls.
I used to donate blood, but they got really aggressive calling me and I called it quits. It's weird. This shouldn't be an aggressive for profit operation...
I'm usually wearing cargo shorts, so evening stays in the pockets. I don't care for wearing a backpack if I can avoid it. A saddlebag is nice if I have to pack a laptop.
Working on a handheld this morning... Fresh parts of the printer need to be tested and I need to wire up the keyboard to the pi pico controller.
Post your build-in-progress thread
What's everyone working on? I'm excited about the increasing availability of raspberry pis. And it'd be cool to see more folks posting here!
Hey @sparseMatrix, have you found any active lemmy cyberdeck communities?
