Powering a Yun

markvenn
markvenn over 10 years ago

Hi all

 

Question for you all regarding the powering of an Arduino Yun. As it is not like the Uno or Mega ADK in that is does not take a range of voltages and seems to be expecting a nice 5V usb supply, if I want to set one up as a standalone bit of kit can I supply power via 1.5V cells 3 x 1.5 = 4.5V? I see that I should be able to power using PoE but I was wondering if I could use it wifi only for some project ideas. I sort of think that 4.5V is not going to be good enough and I don't really want to stick 6V in as this is too much and the web page Arduino - ArduinoBoardYun seems to say that the 5V is the absolute limit. Does anyone have experience with battery powered Yun?

 

Cheers

    Hey Paul

    This looks like a perfect solution for me. Of course it is perfect for the Pi so I think a couple of these may need to be ordered shortly!
