Mod RPi Cover for RPi4 w/ Fan #43

Closed cglusky closed 4 years ago

cglusky commented 4 years ago

RPi4 needs active cooling to avoid thermal throttling. Could use any of the new aluminum heat sinks but they are a bit heavy.

Going to try this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W3MJ9Y2/

Likely plugged into 3.3v based on reviews.

So RPi cover will need to support.

Yes good idea to give the option, but anything flying needs much less of a heat sink, as the airflow over the chip itself should be sufficient

cglusky commented 4 years ago

Figured there would enough bench testing and hot days in a hover it would be worth adding. I can keep the original cover for RPi2/3 and those who do not need fan for 4.
