Can this little battery power this Jetson Orin?

My go to guy for new Jetson releases!

Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. One thing which you may look into is using thicker leads between step-up and jetson. I had the same issue even with beefy power adapter - used multimeter to understand the issue and soldered own thick leads - it rectified the voltage drop during the peaks and jetson works flawlessly. I think even your smallest battery may work if you change the leads (if the batteries inside the pack are anyhow decent Sony/Samsung )

[@JetsonHacks]

Interesting. Certainly worth a try. Thanks for sharing your experience, and thanks for watching!

Im interested to see what the results would be with a similarly sized lithium polymer battery. Perhaps a 4S lipo with similar characteristics would have no issue, but would obviously not be able run as long. Surely there must be a way to run li-ion and li-po in an alternating fashion for higher demand (use li-pi) and lower deman (li-ion)

[@JetsonHacks]

That's an interesting idea! There's certainly a lot of different ways to go about this problem. A nice alternative is one of the mini V Mount batteries such as the FXLion Nano One: amzn.to/41F1iVq or SmallRig VB50: amzn.to/3RXxHnd. These have all the battery management built-in, and have different taps for different voltages. They also have more current available. Plus you can get larger capacities in the same footprint. Thanks for watching!

Love the content! Trying to get my hands on one of these but shipping is a pain. Great to see someone using them.

[@JetsonHacks]

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully the shipping backlogs clear up soon. Thanks for watching!

[@matteomendula1854]

Hello there! Thank you for the amazing work done! I am just wondering.. is there any change to share on github/here the code for the energy monitoring tool you are showing in the video? Thanks a lot!

[@joshyoung9375]

I tried the batteries you used in the beginning for a Xavier and had the same issue. Using a amazon project drill battery adaptor worked well for the 20v Xavier. Gives me like 3 hours of use depending on application.

[@JetsonHacks]

Thanks for the info, and thanks for watching!

[@jamesschaefer9554]

Really great video. Thank you! I especially liked the comment about SOC being at an inflection point. Question: any chance you'd post the code for your watt consumption widget? It's beautiful, and I'd love to read the code to see what I can learn.

[@JetsonHacks]

Thanks you for the kind words. The graph is derived from the package pyqtgraph so I'm not sure there's a whole lot to learn there from me. The demo is running on JetPack 5, it needs modification to work with earlier versions of JetPack. You can email me from the About link on the profile if you want to still talk about the code. Thanks for watching!

thank you so much for this and other great videos! subbed again :)

[@JetsonHacks]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Throttling mechanism of Jetson boards is done in software or hardware level?

[@JetsonHacks]

There are some absolute limits on the hardware side, but most of the power management is done through setting the enable/disable and clock speeds on the compute blocks through software. There are several compute blocks. You can select the number of CPUs, their clock speed, the GPU clock speed. You can also select if you want to use other compute blocks, such as the Deep Learning Accelerator (DLA). NVIDIA has a tool named nvpmodel to facilitate this. Thanks for watching!

Greetings! Always appreciate your clearly presented instructional videos! Last fall, after watching a number of your videos, as well as videos on other channels, I became inspired and wanted to get myself a Jetson Nano to give it a try. Unfortunately, Nano-s (and even Xavier-s) were out of stock in all major on-line stores. As far as I can judge, these shortages have been persisting for a number of months and with no end in sight! Hence, I would like to ask two questions: 1) In your opinion, when will Nano-s become available again? It is ironical, as I recall Jetson Nano (2 Gb version) being described as a "ultimate replacement of Raspberry Pi". Now, both Raspberries and Nano-s are in short supply! 2) If memory serves, you have never reviewed a Jetson Mate (the carrier board for up to 4 Nano/Xavier modules) for building your own "AI cluster". Am I remembering it right? There are few videos on this board on youtube, but they are rather shallow without much practical substance. What do you think about Jetson Mate board? Is it any good?

[@JetsonHacks]

Thank you for the kind words. My understanding is that Jetson Nano devkits will be in short supply for a while. Seeed offers both a Nano and a Xavier NX equivalent that will be shipping mid May. I haven't tried the Jetson Mate. Thanks for watching!

[@leibaleibovich5806]

@@JetsonHacks Thank you for the information! Being a rather inexperienced in computer programming, I set a ~$200 budget cut-off: $100 for Jetson Nano kit plus some basic accessories. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I lost some time due to hesitation. Then shortages annihilated all plans. I toyed with the idea of buying more expensive Xavier, but soon these were gone too (this would have moved my budget into ~$500 area). I have seen that Seeed has some type of mini-PC, based on Xavier module (if memory serves), but these are in $800 - $900 range (+ shipping)! Unfortunately, this is way above my modest budget. The Jetson Mate carrier board is still available, so I thought of going that route, however, it needs Nano/Xavier modules (not those used in dev kits) and these are gone too. At this point it feels that it might take a couple of years (minimum!) to resolve supply issues.

[@JetsonHacks]

@@leibaleibovich5806 The reComputer is the new Seeed offering which with a Jetson Nano module is in the $199 - $259 range depending on options. Includes case and most accessories to get started.

[@cheesiangleow4782]

Have you every tried how long it will last with full performance on 120W battery?

[@JetsonHacks]

That's something that needs to be tested for a given application. "Full performance" means different things depending on general CPU, GPU and subsystem usage (DLA, USB, GPIO etc.) usage and clock settings. Thanks for watching!

[@SahaParikshit]

hi.. can you please share the code part of that power displaying dial window. i want to check in my desktop based of some code running how much power consumption is going

[@JetsonHacks]

I don't have the code anymore, it was just a quick sketch I wrote for the demo. Thanks for watching!

[@CAT-zh2rz]

Excuse me, can this computer defeatN U C in seconds?

[@JetsonHacks]

Hard to say without defining the task the to compare with. Thanks for watching!
