Hello,
I want to use a Pi5 on a pixhawk drone, however I purchased this PDB: https://holybro.com/products/pm03d-powe ... 3360855229 and it only supplies 5V 3A on it's companion computer port (before Pi5 was announced). But does have a 9v and 12v servo output... https://docs.px4.io/main/en/power_modul ... pm03d.html My issue is that I'd like to use stereo cameras like Intel Realsense, Azure Kinect, or I was thinking an Oak camera from Luxonis https://shop.luxonis.com/collections/oa ... 5432233183. The issue is that all of these cameras can use up to ~5W. Meaning that I would need 1.6A on the USBs, which means I need to supply 5V5A to the raspberry pi.
It's possible to force the Pi5 to assume a 5A supply even when not using one. Adding the following to your config.txt is one way of doing so:
Code:
[all]usb_max_current_enable=1Should I just split the lipo and have a 5V5A BEC?
Maybe. Test with the above and see if you need it.
Also what is the real supply voltage as I remember hearing something about 5.1V.
IIRC 5v +-/- 5%. The official PSUs output 5.1 to allow for losses in the cable and connector.
