| + | Important is to know that this 1 meter means ALL the RocNet cables in this Local RocNet network TOGETHER, conterolled by a Raspberry pi.\\ | ||

| The regulator skips the need of transporting 3.3 V from the Raspi, which could give more problems than profit.\\ | The regulator skips the need of transporting 3.3 V from the Raspi, which could give more problems than profit.\\ | ||
| + | But it is also important to realise that the supply over the RocNet cable is only 5 Volt.\\ | ||
| + | And the length of the cabler might be fine for the I2C network uitself, but certainly NOT for the supply in that cable.\\ | ||
| + | And with a little bit of cable length, that 5 Volt will very fast drop down, making the system unstable.\\ | ||
| + | Either RJ12 flatcable or RJ45 Ethernet cable is NOT made for current supply.\\ | ||
| + | So the conclusion here is, use only very short cables, with no more than a total lenght (all cables together!) of 2 -3 meters with one Raspberyy PI.\\ | ||
| + | The extra avaiable GCA_PI06 will provide enough power, but always measure that voltage on the far ends of this RocNet network.\\ | ||
| + | As soon as your voltage there (with the system working) drops down to below 4,8 Volt, you are already too far down.\\ | ||
| + | If you need more I/O you will need multiple Rspberry Pi compters with their own supply.\\ | ||
| + | Raspberry Pi computers are linked to the Ethernet network, and in that ethernet network there are onloy signals, no current.\\ | ||
