<![CDATA[Omega2 LTE - Power problems]]>Re: USB voltage Question - Omega2 LTE

Hi, i'm having issues with my Omega LTE when trying to power via a solar system. I've got a buck/boost setup which is +|- 5% @ 5v. Similar to the previous post i'm curios on the limits as i'm seeing crashes, resets etc non-stop.

cheers

When the wifi radio turns on there is a sudden demand for current. If the power supply cannot provide the required current quick enough, the Omega will likely reboot. The same idea applies for a cellular modem.

Look into how much current is available from the power supply, and what its tolerance for changes in current draw are.

I was hoping that the battery would prevent issues with the drop etc. Back to the drawing board 🙂
