Just reading the power requirements for the Pi4 shows typical power consumption at 800ma. 2 2.5" HDDs would require 700ma each but the Pi4 spec says it will only pass 1.2A through the USB ports. If a small power interface was made with power through to the Pi and 2 USB power (only) sockets made...

I am in the same predicament. I'm using a pi zero W and can connect via WiFi ok but the USB Ethernet dongle I bought does not work UNLESS IT IS CONNECTED AFTER THE PI HAS BOOTED. probably my own fault for buying a cheap one, but in my defence, I followed a link from a Youtube Video which used the sa...

Hi all I'm looking for an inline power supply rather than a plug integrated one. I find the plug integrated ones stick out too far especially if I want to deploy a voice-activated remote socket. I suppose a caged equipment power supply would be ok but that would introduce mains voltage into the Pi's...

(convert to a Python program or another recommendation?) 2) Would it be something tha...
