Advanced users • Re: Power up fpv drone and raspberry pi 5 from single Lipo battery

Are you sure you need all the computing power of a Pi5?

I think yes because pi have a connected ai kit module and it’s doing continuously object detection and tracking. Also flight controller BEC can give only 2A which is not enough, so I can’t use it and looking for another ways

If you say 'I think' it means you even don't have facts about power consumption yourself from what you have in mind. How should others then know it and give you advice?

I you say 'develop', you should start with pre-study on scenarios and paper design(s) and calculations based on measurements from the stuff you bought. But I guess you haven't measured anything.

I’m sorry for misunderstanding's. Average power consumption is around 2.2-2.5A. I said “I think yes” because for now I’m using analog vtx, but in feature I want to try OpenHD video transmitting, so wifi module should be connected to raspberry pi and then power consumption will grow. Recently I had raspberry pi 4 connected to flight controller with 5V 2A BEC and it was enough. But for Pi5 with AI kit it is not enough
