Zero LiPo

Hi,

Does the board charge the battery if the Pi is connected to an external power supply?

I sourced the below script to monitor a GPIO in for high signal, but currently do not have a LiPo charger to charge my battery to test, would it work ?

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os
gpio_pin_number=4
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setup(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(gpio_pin_number, GPIO.RISING)
    os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")
except:
    pass

GPIO.cleanup()

Thanks

I am fairly certain that the board does not have charging circuitry on it so you would need and external lipo charger which is also on the store.

I am fairly certain that script would work tho and is a great idea!

I can confirm there’s no charging circuitry on the Zero LiPo.
