Dawn Robotics Forum

Hi Alan,

I have been working on my project and I'am nearly done
Still running some tests with the power supply and I found out I need to power that 1 amp for the raspberry pi, otherwise without it the system just shuts down when I run the motors. Hopefully I will be getting an external power supply for the Pi (any suggestion? has to be small)
I added a link to one of the tests I have been doing with the motors when I power the Pi separately.
without powering the R-pi and when running the motors the system just shuts down and I have to restart.

Hi Sanjay,

Nice work on the robot, that looks awesome. And thanks for the kind comments in the description.

Sorry about the delayed approval btw, I've been really off the ball this week so only just checked forums...

I found that the original link you posted went to the Youtube upload page, but I found the video from the video_id part so here is an updated link so that others can see your creation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB4ME1SNSnI.

If you need to power your Pi separately then I've found something like this to be a good bet.

Regards

Alan
