Reply To: Mausberry Shutdown Circuit power drain issue

[grizzlema]

I too am having this problem. I have the following equipment:

Rpi2
Wifi Dongle
Bluetooth Dongle
keyboard adapter
the USB Mausberry circuits shutdown circuit
inside an old NES case with the LED attached to the 5V and ground gpio cabcles
Powered from a 2A phone charger

When powered through the shutdown circuit i get a fading in and out low power indication, but when plugged directly into the Pi i receive no low power indication.

I first started with the Belkin 4 port ultra slime USB Hub, but i got a constant low power, so i decided to not even use it.

I purchased a 3A micro usb charger to try out and am waiting for it to get here.

Is it possible that the shutdown switch is adding to much resistance and cutting the power down too much before it reaches the Pi?
