Official Raspberry Pi Poe Hat
- selljamhere 7y agoDoes anyone know why it is only supported for a Model 3 B+?
- brirec 7y agoIt uses some extra pin headers only available on that model. I don't have a PoE hat nor a PoE switch handy, but I'd love to measure the output from the hat. Either way, I imagine there's good reason…
- X-Cubed 7y agoThe extra pins break out the center taps from the ethernet transformer, so that the power can be sourced directly from the existing LAN connection on the Pi.
- hug 7y agoI really do wish the title was correctly capitalised -- I was wondering if my Raspberry Pi was going to start beating like a heart and slowly drive me to insanity.
- dsl 7y agoFor what it is worth, the capitalization was correct when I submitted it.
- anbop 7y agoUnlike Alexa, every time you ask it a question it replies “Nevermore.”
- codealchemy 7y agoNice to have an official HAT - I've been using PoE splitters without issue for the last year or so now (on Model 2 B+ and Model 3 series) as an alternative.
- steve19 7y agoGiven the cost of this, that it adds a fan and uses some pins, a simple splitter seems like a no brainer to me!
- m463 7y agoSo you give up the gpio pins, and you give up silence (+fan)? Maybe a 5.1v poe splitter might be a nicer idea.
- universenz 7y agoIs it still absurdly priced? I got bored of waiting and ended up buying $6 5v 2A splitters from AliExpress.
