Powering the M5Cam
-
Hey there,
I am trying to develop a portable system using a M5Cam. Firmware is ready, but I need to figure out how to power it in a way that can be rechargeable. Is it possible to connect a LiPo Battery to the Grove connector and recharge it via de USB-C?
-
@martarho I think it may be but I also think there is one coming as I have seen some pictures of a camera with battery built in.
-
That sounds great, I just wonder what can I do with the two cameras I already have :D
-
@martarho There may be battery contacts on the camera's board near the bottom nr the connectors.
-
Another question: I've noticed that using a powerbank over the usb-c does not work, as the device does not wake up again after the deep sleep. Is this normal?
-
@martarho is the battery pack going to sleep as well?
some packs "switch off" if current draw drops below a certain level.
