12 volt output - cuts out
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:34 pm
Very Strange Situation. I use my Pegasus advance ultimate box to power my mini PC. My Mini PC randomly shuts off while i still have power to my pegasus box. although this may be a mini-pc issue, i am curious if there is a situation where the 12volt output to the mini pc would be compromised in certain situations? I don't see any logs on the pegasus side or pc side to help determine what is going on...This could be very difficult to figure out
Update:
I currently updated my power supply to a 10amps. I seemed to have everything working for a few sessions until last evening my mini PC went out while my Pegasus box still had power. I did keep notice of my volt/amp meter display in the unity platform was running around 4-5 amps of draw while my ZWO 2600mm was at 100% power consumption trying to reach -20c. It was at 100% consumption for a few minutes when I noticed I lost remote connection to my mini pc and went outside and noticed my mini pc randomly shut off again. Back to square one again. Only thing I can think of as a test is to independently power my mini pc with its own power supply vs using the 12v output on the Pegasus box. If this works then we have an issue with the 12v output of the Pegasus box correct? I have not had this situation happen when cooling the camera is off! (So far) something is happening when the camera is cooling and consuming more power as it tries to reach set point temperature. This could be a coincidence…anyone else have something similar?
