[@deankq4adj125]

I just designed a pcb for this very purpose. Hope mine works as good as this one. Power.

[@misteraon]

Knowledge is Power

[@AA0Z]

How timely! Thanks for the shout out! So I just purchased two of these as we have some Pi's at the contest station that we are going to use these with. Now we are going to power them by the DC power supplies and ditch the wall warts! POWER to yah!!!!

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks Kyle

[@billcahill4218]

Now both Jason and Jason have the POWER. Nice video, Jason, and nice product, Jason!

[@Chuck1855]

Word of the day is power.

[@leskeegan9033]

I am glad that someone has done this with "Power"poles. Like you said 12 V is available in your vehicle and this will work well.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Jason, POWER. At least you now I watched to the end. 🙂I have enjoyed your Vlog's on the way to Quartzfest. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

[@ik04]

I added Powerpole connectors and a 12 volt to 5V Buck converter to my 3D printed case for the reflashed TV boxes I use for radio and 3D printing apps. That allows me to use USB power or 13.8 VDC to run the boxes when mobile.

[@AA7WI-Mike]

Power to the people !!!!!

[@ko4rntdavid222]

Video of RPC would be great POWER

[@HamRadio2]

Yep

[@landonhillman4416]

This will be a great way to Power so many raspberry pi projects.

[@mikearmstrong9899]

Liking the mobile the mmdvm/Shari ideal. " By the power of Grayskull!"

[@jemalone1]

Great info on how to power a raspberry pi with power poles. I will be saving this for a future project.

[@tomc8313]

Great timing on this video. We've been working on a prototype Pi to capture bib RFID for ultra-marathoners running past our aid stations.

[@jfchaillandful]

I like the “Power” pole option. Very nice to have running mobile. I also have a raspberry pi on a Shari pi for my Allstar. Thanks for the video.

[@sebastiandelamaza8440]

Power! openplotter on a tiny sailboat to navigate the fjords of Calbuco in Chile

[@stephensuter7242]

I’m learning so much. Nice to know about voltage conversion - POWER

[@kenfromkansas7885]

Lots of uses for a great looking POWER product

[@ScottGallowayAE4TC]

Thanks Jason, POWER is important.

[@michaelscott8388]

More Power to you.

[@wushock92]

Of course I watch the entire video. There is POWER in knowledge. 😆

[@ericduncan3864]

Neat way to POWER a pi

[@n5pa]

Power is the word of the day! I would use this for a WSJT-X computer on a Pi4.

[@MarvinParnell]

Great way to "Power" Raspberry pi's especially for Amateur radio operators. Nice fit too. Looks very well made. Would love to see a video with an interview. Thanks for the Video and 73.

[@etxfire]

POWER!! Thanks for all the great content, Jason!! 73 from N5BIG

[@ArthurHerronW6HER]

POWER is the word of the day...another good one Jason👈

[@ChadKD9WAX]

Power - great topic

[@kevinkd9txitransmitindiana133]

Power wish I had bought a few pi 4 when they were cheap!

[@reidlanham2011]

Love the POWER options this has!

[@KE2AOK]

Power - These DC buck converters are great, I use them for other 3.3 volt devices.

[@k5map]

This is a great option... Jason, in the video you said you'd share a link to the 3D printed case in the notes. I only found the link to the P/S/. Please add this link (world of the day = power)

[@76macleod]

Thats a really great way to POWER an rpi.

[@jeffwb5waj451]

Great video. May the POWER be with you!

[@jmollo55]

The Power of pi

[@amtrak1007]

Power to the nerds of all flavors!

[@jenniferlong9012]

Word of the day “Power” ! :O)

[@stevebooth1874]

Cool toy! Would use for my dual mmdvm hotspot. We all need som power. Steve KI5PUF

[@rustyhaddock7954]

How about a dozen POWER eggs for your PI 4s? I know what I got, too!! :P

[@Andy2e0ree]

Yes Jason we need to get Chris on so he can talk to us about the POWER board and any others that will do ham radio 73 brother

[@HamRadio2]

Yep

[@rpcelectronics]

Actually, I'm Jason, too 😉

[@kc5cnt]

I remember hearing about this unit a while back. I am quite interested in it and i wonder while POWERing the π would it produce any RFI? I would imagine that it would work on anything that would need 5v3a ... a Dell 3040 maybe?

[@timw8ngt]

Nice video. Nice idea for “POWER”

[@vincentcimino1963]

'power''!!! I'd use it on my Shari for AllStar

[@carlswanson6586]

Love the videos. There is a lot of POWER information in them.

[@HamRadio2]

Glad you like them

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

It'll be useful when pi's come down in price such that I can use them as wind chimes...

[@n3lsb621]

Can't wait to POWER my Raspberry pi4 with this device. How noisy is it?

[@W8JESRadio]

Power my Pi 4 in my POTA Go Box. Thanks for the Video..

[@tomsteuverkb8dxn132]

Power - I'll order this for my Pi4 with the SHARI node as well. I've been wanting to use it remote.

[@tomsteuverkb8dxn132]

@official.Hamradio2_0 My home node is connected to your node. We talked while you were on your way to Quartzfest.

[@HamRadio2]

That's not me, it is a spammer

[@Obeeewaan]

power is good😁😎

[@thecarys563]

Power! Love your idea about the Shari node in your truck. What radio will you be communicating to the node with?

[@HamRadio2]

Lately I have been using my ID-5100

[@stevenwheeler6697]

Power to the Powerpole trend.

[@danl5905]

Power is our friend!

[@kschildt1]

AliExpress has the same circuit for .98 plus 2.28 shipping. 6-40 volt input with screw terminals and two USB plugs for whatever cable you'd like to use. Mini or C.

[@KO4AFL]

It's all about the power

[@glendonblount6556]

POWER!

[@NickFrom1228]

I've got the power!

[@KS0JD]

Power It looks like that does a god job providing POWER to the raspberry pi. This allows you to use the POWER apps on the raspberry pi. You also don't have to worry about any other POWER you need it is all 12 V POWER.

[@Chuck1855]

Jason started watching your video paused it. And went the link to check it out I can't bring it up.

[@ericgulseth74]

I haven't watched the video all the way through yet, I hope my power doesn't fail. Edit: Glad my power didn't fail and I got to the end of the video. I'd think I'd use it on a pi, if I could get one.

[@talbizle]

Power!

[@RookieLock]

Very cool! I just wish I could get a Pi right now, lol I want to make an allstar node like you did a while back.

[@RookieLock]

holay crap. these scammers are getting crazy.. 2 in one comment?

[@chuckkb8yit859]

a very power full presentation!

[@HamRadio2]

Thank you kindly

[@mytechnologytrail]

I would use it to Power my Raspberry Pi running WSJT-X installed by build-a-pi :)

[@louisreeves709]

Another great one! Lots of power

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks again..

[@norrinradd8952]

If I didn't already have a bunch of 12v receptacles with powerpoles on them, I would totally try this out. Would be neat to compare several 12v adapter solutions for noise. I have a few cheapo 12v plugs with USB that are NOY-ZEEEEE!

[@norrinradd8952]

POWER!

[@jamess1787]

I wonder if that amazon cable can push 3A.... I had issues with "amazing cables", voltage dropped to like 3.8v under 1.8A load. 😬

[@ashtont.griffin5717]

Power - still trying to understand all this stuff. Thanks.

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks for watching

[@joesklein]

Great Idea, to power a Raspberry pi at 12 volts.

[@lesterwillison38]

POWER

[@dougdukes1039]

Power

[@Chuck1855]

If I use it it will rim my spud modem fldigi and ft8 software once I get a pie I tore apart my list pie zero hotspot to make it a ysf reflector node. So have to start from scratch lol.

[@joewallace3920]

Don't have the power to get a Raspberry Pi, but if I had one it would run one of those ham clocks in the shack.

[@czmg22]

The power of ham radio is much more than twelve volts

[@timbaeten]

go go gadget power

[@josephw4elt386]

How is the RFI on these? Looks like an interesting way to POWER a pi.

[@neon541]

BY THE POWER OF POTA

[@SailboatDiaries]

Moar power!

[@aandpman]

I've used a couple of similar items to try powering a Pi used as an SDR server. My experience so far is that, since they are switching ps's or buck converters, they have terrible rfi. The otherwise wonderful one from geekworm was one of the worst for rfi. Lines all through the waterfall. Would love to know if this one is rf quiet.

[@alansteiber3031]

Wondering if it could be set up to POWER a beagle bone black.

[@alansteiber3031]

Who is officialHamradio2_0?????

[@circlepfarm3776]

power

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks for watching

[@dirtywhiteboi4637]

I know this is off topic of this video but can someone please tell me where or what to search for using my analog HT I have already to use over ALLstar or EchoLink or both ??? Please… Ty

[@greg5929]

Power! You wanna talk trade? I have a non-functional flex looking to trade for the 2 pi. Let's cut a deal.... BTW, You didn't mention that either rig had to be operational. : 😀

[@Wayde-VA3NCA]

Is it compatible for physically mounting to and (ahem) "power" a pi zero as well?

[@HamRadio2]

I don't think it'll fit a Zero

[@uscgetcs465]

I'm going through several of your videos to answer some of my questions concerning mobile/POTA operations. Is there any chance I could get some info on that clear lucite solar portable power unit that you had built for your use. I can't make out the call sign that you gave of the operator that made it for you. Thanks for any help in this if you are comfortable with suppling the info requested.

[@shantaloft]

power a monitor for bee hives.

[@paulmaine6433]

I would like to purchase one but when I visited the rpc link I noticed the SSL certificate is not valid. I would never purchase from this site until the certificate issue is resolved.

[@HamRadio2]

He's aware of this problem and is working to fix it

[@rpcelectronics]

Our web hosting service is Turbify, formerly Yahoo. I have several tickets in about the SSL issue. However, our order processing is not done by our website, rather PayPal, which is fully secure. There is no risk since we're not actually processing the payments. Also, we have been in business for almost 24 years. We wouldn't have lasted this long if we were scamming people out of their money. Hopefully that helps ease your concern.

[@paulmaine6433]

@@rpcelectronics Jason - thank you for your response. My intent is to not impune your business but rather try to help. Your products look great! I want to help you make your business even more successful. In addition to being a HAM, I am an IT professional with more than 30 yrs experience. I am using the Chrome browser and when I visit your site I receive a message saying your site is not secure and then I have to take extra steps to visit your site. Needless to say, that presents a poor customer experience. One of the things your SSL Certificate does is it "says you are who you say you are". I checked the details on your cert and it was issued on August 29, 2022 and it expires on February 22, 2023. You mentioned that you have submitted tickets to your hosting provider. If they don't get this fixed ASAP, I suggest you move to another hosting provider. One other benefit of a valid certificate is your SEO for your site will be improved. Be that as it may, I plan to order a couple of your boards using PayPal. I will pay with my wife's paypal so you will see the first part of the email start with karen. Thank you for making great products and I hope you get the SSL issue resolved quickly.

[@zaca317]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 POWER. 😂laugh out loud you

[@B83024]

POWER baby POWER lol

[@chriswallaceko4puu555]

Power. Great idea IF you could find a pi without having to spend 10-15 baofengs for it.😅

[@PaulGriffith]

I need to POWER an Arduino, and my R-Pi clone

[@glendonblount6556]

I have 2 dozen eggs! ;)

[@jenniferlong9012]

The link to RPC comes up as possibly being hacker software please check the link

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

or just buy an Odroid C4 (most direct pi4 competitor), N2+, or M1. They are objectively better. They handily beat the performance of the pi4 (in some ways orders of magnitude better), have NATIVE 12v POWER, and are AVAILABLE. The only issue is when you find pi-specific images... and this is the fault of the broken architecture compatibility that is ARM... not the fault of any one ARM sbc.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

So what's the difference between a switching power supply device versus a buck converter? I'm a noob.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

Seems like this can handle a wide voltage array without adjusting anything?

[@HamRadio2]

Correct

[@rpcelectronics]

A buck converter is typically increasing the input voltage up to a higher voltage level. For example, the 3.3V to 5V buck converters for running a 5V device off a 3.6V lithium polymer battery. I actually have one of those designed and I have produced a small batch for a digital group here in the US. Will likely become a regular product we sell. Only difference is, ours runs on three AA batteries.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

@rpcelectronics cool sounds like fun. I run a buck converter to step down my bench supply to an HT (tyt 8000e) I run as a cheap cross-band repeater. Basically made my own battery eliminator. Hihi . I like what you guys did glad Jason showcased your work.

[@emtbyday]

I need more power

[@HamRadio2]

Me too!

[@Paul-Howell-M3EYG]

GPIO pins

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks

[@rpcelectronics]

We opted to not use the GPIO header for two reasons. 1. It's bad practice to feed voltage to the output side of a voltage regulator without a diode to prevent backfeeding and 2. We wanted to keep the header free for other boards that actually need the GPIO, such as an MMDVM board and we show on the website. I originally designed this power supply with that exact application in mind.
