Power Supply – Power Bank

[osanto]

My idea with this thread is to share knowledge about alternative ways of powering the Raspberry Pi, specifically the Power Bank.

I will try to use Rune Audio with a 10000mAh or 20000mAh power bank. I will share my results.

Today when we shut down the Rune Audio, the RB Pi stills on, there is no way to shut down the RPi at the same time?

Thanks

There is no soft power off with a raspberry pi because it has no advanced power management to control the hardware. if it did, you would need a soft on button (which could be done via gpio theoretically) but I dont think the pi has the hardware to do this

What about using a WOL server ?

Frank: same DAC+, I only use the HiFiBerry DAC+ with RuneAudio now. (The DIGI+ I occasionally mention is being used with Xbian). Usually everything shuts down, and only the red LED on the Pi stays on, but not always. I have been using the same two boards since January, a DIGI+ and a DAC+.

I monitor the current for other reasons, so I know when it is off. (Last week I am using the new case, so the LED on the hat DAC is mostly covered, so I have not noticed lately.)

Only changes lately have been the USB HDD, and the case, and some tests with a different/linear supply (this predates the power supply).
