Blog2014 ≫ Solar powered raspberry pi SD card is knackered

I powered up the shed raspberry pi, and got power lights, but no other action. Brought the pi back indoors and I can't even recognise the sd card when I plug it into the laptop. So going to get another sd card, format it, and try again soon.

The UBEC is working nicely though, I have clipped it onto the 6v battery (that is connected to the solar panel) and then tested the output and it's a regular 5v.

raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
