Raspberry Pi Hat with fan controller and external power supply. Raspberry pi need 5 Volt 15 watt power supply, this Pi Hat can replace it with 9/12 Volt power supply 18 watt or more. PCB is design with KiCad 5.1.
-
Wide range DC power input up to 40 Volt (or battery for my application).
-
Fan controller with switchable 5 volt or direct DC in supply. Change J2 jumper close to pi header for 5 Volt fan supply or jumper close to button for direct DC supply. Usually pi fan is for 5 Volt, but i try 5 volt fan with 12 volt battery is no problem at all.
-
Overheat indicator with led (1 led programmable).
-
Over voltage + Reverse protection.
You can replace all components. Just a little note for Q1 and Q3 (P-Channel Mosfet) drain current is 3 Ampere or more.
-
2 programmable button (i used it for shutdown & reboot).
