Any recommendations for Pi 5 battery power? in c/[email protected]
[–] A8ksh4 1 points 9 months ago

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.

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.

Abuse in blood donation call centers (short rant) in c/antiwork

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...

How do you carry your phone, wallet, and keys? in c/[email protected]

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.

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!

I wonder what display that is. Very clean setup.
