Hello, I am powering 8 high torque servos through the Adafruit Servo HAT (https://www.adafruit.com/products/2327) using a 7.4 Volt LiPo Battery. At stall torque these servos can demand as much as much as 2.5 A each, which multiplied over 8 servos = Max 20 Amps total. If I approach this max current d...

Every thing I have read suggests that I should use a separate power supply for the R Pi itself.

I too would like to power my servos through the Pi Hat. I currently have 8 thirsty servos running at 6-7.4 Volts, with max amperage draw of 2.5 amps each. My understanding, is if I run through the Pi Hat, the max voltage I can feed is 6 volts . I too was thinking of powering using 7.4 volt Lipos. Th...
