\nJust a quick post to publicise a Kickstarter. This one is an add-on board for the Pi that allows you to connect up a wide variety of power sources. It allows you to connect multiple power sources to provide UPS functionality for the Pi. Also, with the supplied software, it allows your Pi to shutdown gracefully when power is running low.<\/p>\n

It’s from Hamish Cunningham, who recently attended both the CamJam and the Jamboree, and is a decently-priced board for those who need portable or uninterruptible power for their Pi. It’s currently available for \u00a325 (for the lowest reward level) and there are several options available for a little bit more.<\/p>\n
