DIY Battery Arduino and Raspberry Pi 3
hi
So in this instructable I will show you how I make my battery for my robot. I need power for my arduino board(me auriga makeblock board based on ATmega2560) , and my raspberry pi ( with ps eye; hard drive 2g ...)
So I need:
_output 7.4v for the arduino board; 5v3A for the raspberry pi
_input 5v for charging the battery
_ switch and led for the 2 board
extra
recharge the battery with a Qi charger
add a hub usb
I try to make it a max with what I have
Part List
At the beginning I had
battery 6600mah 7.4v li ion for the arduino board
2x micro usb cable
I baught
module step down lm2596 DC DC (If you have a raspberry pi or pi 2 you can use car usb charger 2A)
2x switch button
2x led and 2x resistance for the led
empty box
Hub usb
7805UC dc step down to 5v
dc plug3.5x1.30x9.5
Tools
soldering iron
soldering wire
cable
knife
drill
Building
I think the draw explain better than me
my battery is compose of 2S3C it already has a protection board so we need few soldering
battery + ----------switch1&led3--- dc barrel 2.1 -- arduino board
+ -----------switch2&led4-----lm2596---micro usb cable1------------raspberry pi
+ ----------battery charger
- ------------led3--dc barrel 2.1 arduino board
- ------------led4--- lm2596-----------micro usb cable1----raspberry pi
- ------------battery charger------micro usb cable2
take the empty box make the hole for the lcd module, the 3 different cable, 2 led ,2 switch
*To add a hub usb
this tuto help me a lot
I baught a dc step down 7805UC and I solder 1 cable just after the switch2 (for the raspberry) to the 7805UC and from him to the dc plug
+ ------------------ switch2&led4---------7805UC-----------dc plug------hub usb
- -----------------------------------------------7805UC----------dc plug
of course you will need a new hole for the cable
Improvation
I want a bigger capacity maybe 10 000 mah ( I have to see that with the free space on my robot.)
and I want order a QI recepteur to charge my battery with a QI charger ( It s for my robot).here(sorry it s in french)
and I need to improve the design because sctoch it s ugly maybe I will try to make one with my 3d printer.
thanks to pihomeserver for the idea.
I hope that will help you in your project
* adding my broken beats on it ( the battery is totaly dead)
Additionnal
So for the hub usb
this tuto help me a lot
I use a lm2596 down to 5v I solder it on the same switch as the raspberry to power it in same time
for beats speaker :
I remove the battery and I solder an other lm2596 down to 4v they are very easy to use like all the other with a switch
for the box
I print a 3d case you can download the doc boite haut.stl and boite bas.stl
I make 1 big hole for the cable it more clean
to resume
we have 5 cable 1 for the raspberry pi 3
the arduino board
the hub usb
the beats speaker
and the last one to recharge the battery
