Pironman 5 - Power supply problem

General
1

Hello, everyone,
thanks for accepting me!
I just got the Pironman 5: it’s simple awesome!!!
I installed the operating system correctly but on reboot this alert appears: Power supply not capable to supply 5A. Periphericals features will be restricted.

When copying the operating system from the SD card to the ssd (Samsung SSD 980) I get this alert: Low Voltage Warning. Please check your power supply.
The power supply provides 5v and 5A.
Can you recommend a good power supply to buy?

Thank you
Andrea

What power supply do you have?

Maybe you’re using a cable that can’t handle transmitting 5A of power even though the charger itself is rated for 5A?

Hi psyko_chewbacca,
Thank you for your reply!
I checked the power supply: 4.72 V and 4.3A…
I bought the original power supply and everything works.

it is recommended to use the official Raspberry Pi 5.1V 5A power supply to power the pironman5.

Hi,
I hope this is not too late to link onto this post, but I’ve just got my Pironman 5 set it all up, the screen is not working and I get the same message, telling me my power supply is not good enough. I have the official Raspberry Pi 5 27W. So what do I have to get to make it all work properly?
Thanks, Martin.

You are currently using the official Raspberry Pi standard 27W power supply？？

Did you connect the display and power the pironman5, and the pironman5 could not boot, or did it boot, but a low voltage warning appeared in the top right corner of the desktop?

We suggest you provide us with a video of the problem so that we can analyze the solution. Text description, we get too little information to judge.

If the video memory is large, please upload the recorded video to onedrive, then share the video link with us and give us access to it.

Hello,
I’m on holiday at the moment. Once I’m back home, I’ll make a short video. Also the rear fans do not work as well.
It does boot from the NVMe SSD but I get the power problem, and the rear fans don’t spin or light up, even after using the the codes on your website, to run the fans, lighting and screen.

The RGB fan is not working.
The situation you are experiencing is normal.
The operation of the RGB fan is controlled by the CPU temperature.
If the CPU temperature does not reach the set threshold, the RGB fan will stop working; if the CPU temperature exceeds the set threshold, the RGB fan will start working.
If you want to keep the RGB fan running continuously with pironman5, you need to execute the command to change the mode:
pironman5 -gm 0
sudo systemctl restart pironman5.service
