Powering Multiple RPis
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:43 pm
Okay this is my first post, having used the forum extensively over the last week to setup two RPi 2.
I'm looking for some guidance. I would like to power 6 RPi 2 from one mains socket. These Pi will have a Wi-Fi dongle plugged in for network connectivity and apart from that will have no peripherals plugged in (unless the box crashes and I can't VNC on in which case I'll have to plug in a keyboard and mouse). The Pi will only be used to display webpages/ Remote Desktop sessions on a bank of televisions to monitor various aspects of the network.
Can I power 6 Pi from a mains powered 7 socket USB Hub, if so can anyone recommend one (ideally from amazon or the like rather than ebay)?
Thanks
