M. Ramone Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hello, i have just assembled my new allo miniboss on a pi zero w. The objective is to run moode on it. I have tested several usb phone chargers i have as psu. My observations are the following: With chargers rated less than 2A, i get the software to work, but no sound out of the miniboss with both Volumio and Moode. With the most powerful charger i have rated 2,5A, i get sound with Volumio (great sound, thanks Allo!) but not yet with Moode. What power supply you recommend to get miniboss/zero working properly with Moode or any other of the common music rendering software? Case 2: what sort of powerbank would you recommend to have it running on batteries for a few hours? Does low power affect sound quality in any way when it does work but is close to the limit? I was not expecting a huge power consumption, but it seems to be quite high for a zero system... Note: i have nothing else running nor connected to the pi and the hmdi port is disabled. Thank you for your help. Link to comment
