Cosmik Streamer's Raspberry Pi USB-C socket is used for goggles data. Power therefore enters through an engineered GPIO supply or a compatible PoE HAT.
Release boundary: the final customer power lead, connector, and wire size are
still being derived from measured load and length. Earlier public 18–20 AWG purchasing advice
is withdrawn until that work is complete.
What is settled
- Use one power route: GPIO power or a compatible PoE HAT.
- The current measured GPIO target is 5.1–5.2 volts at the pins while running.
- The supply must provide at least 3 amps.
- The Raspberry Pi must report no current or earlier undervoltage event before a release image is trusted.
What is not a customer instruction yet
- No specific DIY lead, splitter, connector, or wire gauge is release-approved.
- No pin-level wiring diagram is published until the final lead is measured and safety-reviewed.
- A USB-C power source may require negotiation before it supplies the expected voltage; a connector shape alone proves nothing.
How the software reports power
Console → System → Power reports whether power is good, dropped earlier, or is a problem now. A current or historical undervoltage report is a fault to correct before relying on the unit for a shoot.
