Ooof lots of options, some pricier than others.

What are your thoughts about using a Pisugar2 with the 12v-5v step down converter connected to the PiSugar2's power input? Basically, do you think this will work or will it blow it up?

As for sensor reading: The more I read I think 3.2A is sufficient, so I can use a string of INA219 sensors to have the Pi monitor different points of my system for output to screen.

I'll probably wait on the connectors for now, I like powerwerx but I should probably see how it all fits together and what case I end up with before getting those.

So in total:

  • PiSugar2 $46 (I'll see how the 5k batt does and then maybe swap it for a larger capacity)
  • 12-5v converter (2pk) $15
  • INA219 (5pk) $16
  • Data screen, might as well go big with this one, try to get it to cycle through different display outputs by touch $18

Power solution total = ~$100
