Looks like they’ve completely closed their channel. Weirdness.
Basically, they took a 2-AAA battery pack and found that it fit in the gap right over the processor. They turned it upside down and mounted it to the top half of a ModMyPi case which means that they were then able to get that top half on, producing a portable unit. They used a little converter to control the voltage and then plugged it in to the GPIO.
[…] recantha Very neat video of a Raspberry Pi model A running from just 2 AAA batteries all in a ModMyPi case. […]
Ive just ordered a DC to DC converter off ebay for £1.63 to give this a go. Brilliant video thanks.
It’s a very sweet little project, really. Ideal for Raspberry Jams where you only need a couple of hours of battery power.
Amazing that you can run on 2xAAA, but I just see “This video has been removed by the user.”
Argh. Don’t you just _hate_ that! Let me see if I can see why…

Sorry for the trouble Michael. Re-uploading video at: http://youtu.be/sZpGuwNde7Y
Oh hey! No problem – was just surprised when it disappeared. I’ll update the embedded video 🙂 Great idea by the way – just a great piece of tinkering.
