Slamtec RPLidar A1 M8 with Waffle-pi

Well, what do you know. The power from the 5v connector on the OpenCR1.0 board does not work. The timeout errors occur.

The power from a desktop power supply set to 5.1v and 3.5A does not work.

Both through the GPIO connector +5v and GND pins.

Power from a Pi UPS with 2-18650 li-ion batteries through the RPI4 USB-C power connector works!

Where did you get your Turtlebot3 power scheme? It seems a separate power supply is required for RPI4 and PiCam and Lidar…
