Description

I'm tired of all the Pi bricks. So I designed 2 boards to be used with high current 5v supplies(the kind that can be adjusted up to 10% over 5v) to run Pis. The boards are designed for high current and the added voltage can compensate for cable and connector drops, just like the official power supplies that run at 5.25v

Parts ordered

PCBs ordered for 8 position and 6 position power boards. Mean Well LRS-50-5 (for the 6 position) and LRS-150-5 for the 8 ordered. USB connector and terminal block ordered. The 6 position is not intended for 6 Pi, but like 2-3 Pi and a couple other USB devices like a Chromecast or Fire stick or other 5v device.

Once the power supplies arrive the design of the 3d printed support can begin.
