==Description==
==Description==
This is a power-related hat module in the DockerPi series. <br>
 
It provides 5v/4A for all DockerPi and a total of 20w output power. <BR>
DockerPi PowerBoard is used to power the Raspberry Pi (or similar SBC) with a typical power of up to 20W (5V/4A) and can run up to 25W (5V/5A) with good heat dissipation.
It powers all the electrical devices superimposed on the DockerPi, avoiding the overvoltage problem.<BR>
 
It also avoids the situation of burning the Raspberry Pi device caused by using GPIO to drive high-power devices.<BR>
DockerPi PowerBoard also provides power to other DockerPi modules to protect the security of the power supply. It also provides a safe shutdown function, supports IR remote control switch, button control switch (Requires Driver,One-Step Automated Install).
The 3CM ultra-quiet fan is also integrated on the power board to ensure the operating temperature of the power board and it can also help raspberry pi to comsumptioning heat.<Br>
 
It supports infrared and button switch turning on and off the raspberry pi safely.<br>
DockerPi PowerBoard has fan cooling, and we recommend that you install the DockerPi PowerBoard on the bottom of the other DockerPi.
(Must install Drive) (Note: the switch will not affect the 12v output here), it can be called "safe shutdown" function.<br>
 
Infrared drive and Raspberry Pi communication only through the I2C interface, It does not take up any additional GPIO pins and is ideal for overlaying multiple DockerPis.<Br>
DockerPi PowerBoard recommends 12V 2A or above power input and 12V power from 4-pin headers to other DockerPi. (If other modules require 12V power)
<pre>Note: This module only supports installation at the bottom, which is the closest layer to the Raspberry Pi, and there is only one</pre>
