@rbelli1 No IR remote. It does have Bluetooth connectivity, which enables the mobile app to turn the camera on/off and take photos. At the moment the Pi is simply controlling the servo.

@Borek I was considering switching to an Arduino or some other microcontroller for the system shutdown reason. I'm quite new, what is a UPS? The Camera is being used for image processing. This camera was chosen because it is capable of 1000 fps, though the camera choice is not set in stone. We...

I want to mount a camera on the front of a tractor(Sony RX0M2, similar to a gopro). The camera will eventually be used for image processing. A PQ-12 micro linear servo (see here) will be used to turn the camera on/off. It is being run by a Raspberry Pi 4B. All components in this project will be...

I have a https://www.lattepanda.com/products/lattepanda-delta-432-with-win10-pro-activated.html single-board computer. For my project, I'd like to power it from a 12V tractor battery if I can. I also have the option of powering it via the JST ph2.0 4P 12V DC connector. I discuss this option with...

Update: powering the Servo via GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi is not a good idea. Looks like I may need another buck converter. The stall current of servo is approx 660mA at 5V. The 5V rail is connected to USB input so It can(in theory) provide whatever the USB provides (approx 1A) minus board...

@berkeman Thanks for the advice. We were thinking IP66 or 67 for the case. You're right to question my power consumption numbers. I misunderstood/made some mistakes in the way I calculated it. I can share methodology if these still look funky but @ the 12V line, I'm expecting a maximum of 2.023A...

No PCB, as it doesn't really seem necessary. I'm a rookie so of course, me being wrong is possible. I'll attach a rough wiring schematic. I'll give you a better idea of the components we're dealing with. As this is an early prototype, there are issues we've identified which may well require...

I'm new to this type of thing(entering the third year of electrical engineering) and could use some advice. I am working for my school and have assembled some components(Single Board Computers, a buck converter, Linear Servo, etc) for our design. We want to test the design in a three weeks. I...
