abhayrjoshi 0 Posted September 8, 2022 Can the Tinker Edge R be powered using the VCC 5V pin on the 40 pin header? With the CPU, NPU, and 1 USB-A under operation, what will be the typical power consumption profile? Is it around 10-12W that can be supplied using the pins on the header (if possible)? My current application works towards integrating the Tinker Edge R into a remote controlled car, and if there are any other recommendations on powering the board, it will be of great help!

abhayrjoshi 0 Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Can you please comment on the power consumption of the Tinker Edge R series and the recommended wattage of the power supply? Is a typical 30W power supply as in the case of Tinker Board 2 enough or is a higher wattage recommended? Will the following power sources suffice or are there any alternative recommendations? 12V/3A https://talentcell.com/lithium-ion-battery/12v/yb1206000-usb.html 12V/6A https://talentcell.com/lithium-ion-battery/12v/yb1208300-usb.html Thank you for your time, Edited September 10, 2022 by abhayrjoshi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abhayrjoshi 0 Posted October 21, 2022 Thank you! I ended up buying the https://talentcell.com/lithium-ion-battery/12v/yb1208300-usb.html and was able to power the board. The bundled connectors are compatible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
