Raspberry 4 low power
-
@baird1fa nothing else, might have a defective duet board. even when I take off the bl touch it doesn't get enough power.

bl-touch uses negligible power. could you measure the 5v voltage at both the Duet and the Pi?
And when you say " it doesn't get enough power" it crashes or just turn on the led (and lightening symbol on screen)?

@bearer thank Ill get that changed next time it stop.
-
@bearer it is running slow and hot because it doesn't receive enough power.
I just took a IR picture of the duet and the power converter are burning up. V IN is stable, 5V isnt. -

not sure that is correct, normally it runs slow because it is hot; what does
dmesg -T | grep Under-voltagesay on the pi?also interesting to corelate with
watch -n 10 vcgencmd get_throttled(or maybe a little dirtier and simpler at the same time:while true; do echo -en "`date` `vcgencmd get_throttled`\n"; sleep 10; done` -

unstable voltage, drop every 30 seconds.
temp is fine, 44c -

vcgencmd get_throttled doesn't return the temperature, but rather what has and is throttling the pi, voltage alone doesn't necessarily result in throttling and doesn't even have to correlate to insufficient power.
i get under voltage entries even with the official pi supply, but it doesn't result in throttling. (or maybe both went away after i put avoid_warnings=2 in config.txt, been a while)
-
@bearer I used other way to check the cpu and gpu temp. didnt need the get_throtled
-
@jrockland I checked the power with a voltmeter, it is bad. Ill switch to my pi power supply.

excellent, but why not put up a number - pretty much everyone else doesn't have problems so something is either wrong with your duet or your setup imho; but horse, water, whatever.
