Read our last post: Modems and RaspberryPI 5. RaspberryPI OS [Debian 12 bookworm] notes.. Order u-GSM modems.

gsm, 3G, 4G shields tutorial :: i-hatGSM3G and l-LTE / d-u3G / c-uGSM / h-nanoGSM shields howto start tutorial - part 4



Raspberry PI + g-SPS 5V [LiPOL]. Power your Raspberry PI from any +6-20V power supplies

This part implements the same principles as presented in RASPBERRY PI FREE STYLE POWERING post, but without wires.

Modules, parts used

a. Raspberry PI 3 / 2 / ZERO / B+ board or other RPI like board
b. g-SPS 5V [LiPOL] version switching power supply, equipped as in page 2 (the 10 x 2.54mm socket it is not mandatory)
b. Any external power supply (wall power adapter, LEAD-GEL battery or 2/3/4 cells LiPOL battery, other..) providing +6 => +20V and > 1A.
c. i-HAT3GGSM adapter prepared as shown in page 2.

WARNING: THE STANDARD RPI POWER SUPPLY MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE RPI POWERING USB!!!

i-HAT3GGSM solder jumpers configuration recap

- JP1 - CIRCUIT OPEN (not connected) default ==> CIRCUIT CLOSED (connected) REQUIERED
- JP2 - CIRCUIT CLOSED (connected) default
- JP3 - CIRCUIT CLOSED (connected) default
- JP4 - CIRCUIT OPEN (not connected) default


i-hatGSM3G adaptor >> solder the JP1 solder-jumper

IMPORTANT, DO NOT FORGET: make short/solder over JP1 (connect 5V from RPi with Vout on the g-SPS board), as in up-here picture.

 

Put all parts and modules together

Raspberry PI + g-SPS 5V [LiPOL], power the Raspberry PI from +6-20V power supplies

RASPBERRY PI FREE STYLE POWERING using i-HATGSM3G adapter

a. Double check boards for soldering short-circuits.
b. Notice in picture the side/position on RPI extension connector. Same for g-SPS 5V [LiPOL] switching power supply connector.
c. Insert boards connectors gentely (plug the bords together).
d. Connect keyboard, mouse, DVI, ethernet..
e. Plug the power cable into g-SPS board Vin connector.
DONE!


WARNING:
THIS POWERING CONFIGURATION BYPASS THE RPI BUILT IN 5V POWERING SECTION!

TUTORIAL PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY!!! USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
