Hi All,
I purchased 10 x RockPro64 + 64GB eMMC + NVMe PCIe Card for my cluster.
I then purchased a PicoCluster 10H (High Power) RockPro64 Case PSU Kit etc etc.
I have had 3 months of sheer hell getting the cluster working with any degree of stability.
Their wiring loom was so unprofessional I should have had the alarm bells ringing at the beginning.
They were shoving 3-4 awg 22 cables into fork crimps rated at awg 14-16 and the cable insulation was not properly secured as a strain relief. The power would intermittently drop if you wiggled the cables too much.
So I rewired the loom .. and in doing this I noticed the power supply was 5v 18A ...
When I checked the specs of the Rock Pro 64 it says 12v 3A minimum .
Am I right to go ballistic at PICO Cluster for this massive bit of incompetence?
I don't know if the spec has changed on the Rock Pro 64 and it was 5v 3A?
I am surprised that the RockPro64 would even boot on 5V when it was rated at 12v!
