Hey
This isn't really a problem, more making sense out of a solution. I'm building a car that is driven by a raspberry pi 4, and I have an arduino connected to that pi. I've had a battery pack (6 AA batteries) powering the motors driven by the pi, and a powerbank (5V, 3A) powering the pi itself. The ssh connection would constantly fall out when driving the car, and I suspected there was a power problem. It wasn't until I disconnected the arduino that the connection kept stable.
However I don't understand why the arduino is the culprit here, because from what I've read the arduino has a power demand that is way less than the pi. I've only attached two distance sensors to the arduino. I can have all 4 tt motors on full throttle without the connection falling out now, and I would think these would "steal" more power from the pi than the arduino would.
Can someone explain this to a electro noob?
