Tethered power #12

Open matt-desmarais opened 9 months ago

matt-desmarais commented 9 months ago

I'm getting a power supply so I can properly power the robot/pi 4 when working on it. I was doing it with the battery charger, it works but performance is impacted versus the battery. The battery is rated 6a max continuous power so that's what I'm ordering. The pi can get up to 3a under load and the charger is 800ma https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B082PCR5YS/

Let me know how this works. I've used the power brick to power just the raspberry pi, but not the motors or anything else. At 5V it provides roughly 2amps of power so I figured it might throttle it at times but should work.
