Vertical Pi: A versatile mini "motherboard" for raspberry pi and pi-like single-board computers

Why?

Pis are great but sooner or later users will find troubles:

  • Where is power button!!!?? How can I safe shutdown my computer!!!??
  • Power issues: Dodgy chargers, usb cables...
  • Temperature control: this is becoming critical for modern Pis.

Features

  • Power your Pi from 8V-24V with simple screw terminal or barrel jack connectors up to 2A (recommended 12V).
  • Chainable power for cluster or rack-like mounting.
  • Hat/pHat compatible with (no stacking or long headers)
  • Vertical mount enable to use large heatsinks and better cooling.
  • Tactile power button for safe switch on / off (avoid data loss or SD corruption).
  • Auxiliary button for triggering actions in your Pi.
  • Dedicated i2c header for connecting mini oled display or 4-pin sensors.
  • Control 5V or 12V fan with variable speed and rpm measuring (supports 2-pin, 3-pin and 4-pin fans).
  • Control simple piezo-electric buzzer to provide basic audible feedback.
  • One custom pin output for control (5V logic level).
  • One custom pin output open collector (up to 20V, 150mA)
  • Configurable High-level watchdog.
  • No Pi GPios are wasted the board require only I2C bus (standard mode and fast mode supported)
  • No scripting, no kernel hacks: cli, HTTP REST, MQTT & unix domain sockets.
