Getting Started
Get to know your WLAN Pi Pro
How to talk to your Pi
There are numerous ways to interact with your WLAN Pi:
APIs (future)
We'll go through each of these.
Powering On
Momentary press (1 sec) to power on
look for constant red light, this indicates power
look for the heartbeat LED, this means the OS has been initiated
Then the screen will come to life
The very first boot with a newly flashed SD card can take up to 60 seconds, be patient
Powering Off
The recommended way to do this is to issue the poweroff command!
This can be done:
via the screen and buttons on the front (FPMS)
CLI command
Cockpit GUI
Or... Long press the power button (2 seconds)
This will force the device to power off without gracefully shutting down, which could result in data corruption
Charging Battery
Ports that will charge the battery are indicated with a lightning bolt, there are 2 of them
PoE
802.3af compliant
Max 12W (1.5A)
Type-C Port (Top)
5V input, Max 1.5A
Do not use with Qualcomm QuickCharge (QC) power sources, these chargers have the ability to output greater than 5V which could damage components in certain scenarios.
For example, if the battery is completely flat when connected to a QC charger.
