For those who think this would be a great UPS as they write in the name, then forget about the UPS future.

According to rhe tech support so is not possible to read battery status by software and it can not safely shutdown by it self.

When you order it to shutdown you must hold in the powerbutton for about 3 sec before it turns of.

If you have stable powersupply with shorter interupt, like up to a 3 hours then this might work as some safety for the system

Yeesh. The #geekworm Pi case gets real hot even without much load. Problem is that the BOTTOM gets hot as well. Scared to leave it on my desk. I'm using the base of the #flirc case as a "coaster" until I can figure out a better solution. Real surprised it doesn't come with teensy risers.

@dhrystone Interesting, since I just did the same with one of my Pis (#Flirc to #geekworm). Did it so I could have a Pi4 with GPIO pins exposed

Switched out the #RaspberryPi #FLIRC passive cooling case for a #Geekworm armor case, also passive. Wow. Difference in temp is impressive. Running overclocked (overvoltage 4, arm_freq 1900) and idle at ~53°C right now, other case had it at high 60’s. Will be interesting to see how it performs at load. And yes I know active cooling is better. It’s also mechanical, and louder. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shoutout to @rpilocator for helping me find another Pi 4 to build the #Geekworm https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi #PiKVM kit. #opensource #foss
