Powering the raspberry pi is difficult, it needs a good 5V power supply. It appears it draws around 0.5-0.6A. We've ordered a stepdown converter that should help achieve this, which we can run off the main battery voltage. There may be thermal issues, we might need a heatsinking solution to keep the step down from melting the drone's plastic.
