Hi,
I'm needing to run a raspberry pi computer board near my boiler. The Pi requires 5v at 2.5A.
My heating system is from NIBE and the control panel a SMO 20.
It does have a USB port on the front for software updates but this doesn't appear to have enough current to power the Pi properly. Sad times.
The manual references auxiliary power but there's no mention of voltage/current ratings.
Do control panels, such as the SMO 20, typically have a means of powering external devices? and if so, what current might they provide?
Thanks,
Nick
