Power over Internet(POE) Hat for Raspberry Pi

Introduction

Do you still worry about Raspberry Pi Zero access to various USB devices? So,it's your right choice. It is a USB Hub for RPI Zero, it has 4 USB extension interface and external battery. The 4 pogo pins on the back will connect the PP1, PP6, PP22 and PP23 testing pads on your Raspberry Pi Zero – no soldering required! You can also power PRI zero by USB cable or a chargeable battery. Only need a few studs can connect it with RPI Zero, it so convenient for saving a lot of wiring problems.

Model: RPA20901S

  • Step 1. Install the necessary library

1) Install BCM2835, open the Raspberry Pi terminal, and run the following command

HTTP wget : //www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz
zxvf bcm2835 tar - 1.60 . tar . GZ
bcm2835 cd - 1.60 /
sudo ./ the configure
sudo make && sudo make check && sudo make install

2) Update wiringPi to version 2.52

sudo apt - get install wiringpi
HTTPS wget : //project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb
sudo dpkg - i wiringpi - latest . deb
gpio - v
#You will see gpio version: 2.52, indicating successful installation

3) Install Python library

#python2
sudo apt - get update
sudo apt - get install python - pip
sudo pip install RPi . GPIO
#python3
sudo apt - get update
sudo apt - get install python3 - pip
sudo pip install RPi . GPIO
  • Step 2. Download the sample program
sudo apt - get install p7zip - full
HTTP wget : //www.waveshare.net/w/upload/b/b7/PoE_HAT_B_code.7z
7z x PoE_HAT_B_code . 7z - r - o ./ PoE_HAT_B_code
  • Step3. Run the test routine

1) C

cd PoE_HAT_B_code / c /
make clean 
make
sudo ./ main

2) Python

cd PoE_HAT_B_code / python /
sudo python main . py
  • Set the fan start temperature
#C
Nano examples the sudo / main . C
# POE_HAT_Display() The last parameter of the function sets the fan opening temperature

#python 
Nano examples sudo / main . Py
# POE.POE_HAT_Display() Function parameter to set the fan opening temperature
  • Set boot up

1) Before setting the startup, compile the routine first.

Nano sudo / etc / rc . local

2) Set boot up. Add sudo /home/pi/Fan_HAT/c/main & before exit 0. Note that you must add "&" to run in the background, otherwise the system may not start.

fi
sudo / home / pi / PoE_HAT_B_code / c / main &
exit 0
