Description

The UPS Gen 6 Power Module, also known as UPS V6, is the latest evolution in 52Pi’s UPS Plus series, meticulously designed to provide advanced power management and flexibility for Raspberry Pi or other compatible Single Board Computers. Building upon its predecessors, UPS V6 introduces significant enhancements in battery configuration, intelligent power path management, and extensive user customization options.

This module supports up to four channels of 8.4V lithium battery groups connected in parallel, allowing users to significantly expand battery capacity for extended runtime and robust power delivery. Whether your project demands reliable backup power, customizable monitoring, or advanced power management features, the UPS V6 delivers a powerful and versatile solution for your Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi endeavors, with future capabilities accessible via OTA firmware upgrades.

While primarily designed with mounting for the Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4B in mind, the UPS Gen 6’s functionality extends to other SBCs that are pin-compatible with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. For physical installation with non-Raspberry Pi boards, users should verify positioning hole alignments to ensure proper fitment.

Key Features

  • Device Compatibility: Supports Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, and other pin-compatible SBCs.
  • Battery Expansion: Accommodates up to four parallel 2S (7.4V nominal) 18650 battery packs.
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply: Provides bumpless transfer and full UPS functionality for seamless power failover.
  • I2C Communication: Enables monitoring and control of battery and device status via I2C protocol.
  • PikaPython Integration: Supports PikaPython script interpreter for custom Python script injection and control.
  • Programmable LED: Allows user-defined LED control through I2C register configuration.
  • Safe Shutdown Timer: Implements a safe shutdown timer to prevent data loss during power events.
  • OTA Firmware Upgrades: Supports Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates for future feature enhancements.

Applications

  • Embedded Systems requiring reliable power backup and extended runtime.
  • IoT gateways and edge computing devices operating in fluctuating power environments.
  • Portable Raspberry Pi projects needing consistent and long-lasting uptime.
  • Robotics and automation applications where continuous power is critical.
  • Data logging systems to prevent data corruption and ensure integrity during power outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery configurations does the UPS Gen 6 support?

The module supports 2S (two in series) 18650 lithium batteries, providing a nominal 7.4V and maximum 8.4V. It allows for up to four such battery packs to be connected in parallel, significantly expanding the total capacity and runtime for your SBC projects.

How does the UPS Gen 6 communicate with the Raspberry Pi?

It primarily uses an I2C interface for communication. This allows the Raspberry Pi to monitor battery status, voltage, current, and control various functions of the UPS module. Developers can use PikaPython for scripting interactions.

What are the main power input and output options?

The main power input supports fast charging protocols like PD/QC/FCP, allowing efficient recharging of the connected batteries. For output, it provides a stable 5V for the SBC and an additional 12V output specifically for powering HDDs, expanding peripheral support.

Is the 52Pi UPS Gen 6 compatible with other SBCs besides Raspberry Pi?

While optimized for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4B, the UPS Gen 6 is functionally compatible with other Single Board Computers (SBCs) that are pin-compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Physical mounting may require checking hole locations for a perfect fit.

What features does the PikaPython support offer?

PikaPython integration allows users to inject and run Python scripts directly on the UPS module. This enables advanced customization for LED control, power management thresholds, and other DIY features, leveraging a familiar scripting environment for greater flexibility and control.
