Power Supply

If you want Butter to work completely off-grid and without electricity, it can! Butter Boxes can be powered by a wall outlet, pre-charged battery pack or solar powered battery pack.

  • Wall Outlet: The official and recommended power supply for Raspberry Pi computers (depends of the Raspberry Pi model that you are using)
  • Pre-charged Battery Pack (Power Bank): This is the most common option for field use.
  • Solar Panel (with Power Bank): Use a small solar panel to recharge your power bank. This is a good option to keep the box running continuously in off-grid locations. Using direct solar panel without a battery is possible, but unstable if the sun dips in/out.
