Mini Raspberry Pi Server With Built In UPS & Stats Display

In this video, we’re going to be putting together a mini Raspberry Pi server with a built-in UPS. A Raspberry Pi makes a great server for a NAS or for media streaming, home automation or even a home security hub for your cameras. All of these projects can benefit from having a built-in UPS to ensure that the Pi is kept running in the event of a power interruption. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------— Read my write up of the build and download the Python display script - Pi Server Case Kit - Download the 3D print and laser cutting files to make your own case - Support my projects on Patreon - It looks like a relatively simple board on the surface, but it has a number of great features, including power management circuits and I2C communication, enabling low voltage safe shutdown and automatic restarts.
