Raspberry Pi Power Management & UPS HAT

C1349

Elmwood Electronics has stopped accepting orders. This product might be available at PiShop.ca. Please check this blog post about our recent team merger.

The Raspberry Pi needs to be powered up on edge, always. The HAT will make you sure your device will be powered. You will have full control over the power of it! The true uninterruptable power supply for Raspberry Pi automatically switches between different power sources without causing a reset or failure on your board. A real-time clock(RTC) featured an onboard ARM® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller lets you schedule power cycles and wake-up or soft shut down Raspberry Pi remotely. At power-sensitive applications, the device can be entered deep sleep modes and save battery. Dynamic power management means will share the load between the main source and battery, will protect the circuit.

Power Software

One of the biggest problems of remote projects is keeping the devices all-time-powered on the edge and knowledge of the power status. While stacking the UPS HAT with a battery solves the problem as standalone. The user can manage the UPS HAT via the Sixfab Power Management Platform remotely. The detailed diagnostics about the battery and main power source available here and ease the maintenance. An ultra-lightweight service agent works on the Raspberry Pi and communicates with the platform if you have an Internet connection via ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Cellular.

Power Software Features

Diagnostics
  • Charging status, Battery Percentage, and Health
  • Main Power Source Plugged or Unplugged
  • Input/Output Voltage Level and Current Consumption
  • Temperatures of Raspberry Pi, HAT, and Battery Holder Board
  • Cooling Fan Working Status and RPM
  • Custom Time Graphs on the Dashboard

Configurables

  • Firmware of the microcontroller on the HAT and the service agent on the Raspberry Pi can be updated remotely
  • Scheduling wake-up/shutdown time or routines
  • Creating e-mail alarms when a parameter exceeds certain thresholds
  • Battery capacity can be updated for a precise percentage calculation (2500mAh by default)
