Re: Eliminating the 12V-5V converter in your low-power Raspberry Pi implementation

Dear BitWizard,

I have found your page most helpful in my own hack. I have duplicated your work and it works; Thank you!

I realized that VDD_BAT merely needs to be tied to 3.3V for it to work. There is no need to include a second 12V to 5V converter specifically for VDD_BAT. I have verified this with my setup and it led to further power saving (1.524W down to 1.44W at idle). Please consider trying it on your own Raspberry Pi too!

Regards, Ben
