Powering Hats and Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi guys!
i'm making first serious robot project raspberry pi 3. know how work , fine. however, i've got problem powering. i'm using adafruit servo hat, adafruit motor hat , of course rpi 3. on adafruit's sites 2 hats i'm using, written gives lot of noise in power supply , highly recommended power rpi different power supply. want use 1 power supply , that's problem. question there elecronic components without damaging rpi , hats? maybe 5v 3a ubec solve it? want power 2 hats , rpi 7,4v 14a lipo battery.
thank replies

i power servos through pi hat. have 8 thirsty servos running @ 6-7.4 volts, max amperage draw of 2.5 amps each.

understanding, if run through pi hat, max voltage can feed 6 volts .

thinking of powering using 7.4 volt lipos. ubec cited, can handle 3 amps?

powering servos outside of pi hat (using hat signal , ground). 2 servos per 1 7.4 lipo. works okay, entails lot of cutting , soldering.

have found useful posts on topic?

thanks
