New Cluster HAT System

[Tom Szolyga]

I just finished building a new Cluster HAT system.  The Pi3 starts up normally and displays the Raspbian desktop.  From a terminal window I can turn on all the Pi Zeros and all four of the yellow indicators come on..  My first two obserbvations are:

1. I was surprised that with a 3A 5V supply I got a low voltage warning.  

2. There is a CLUSTERHAT tab in the System tab.  When I clicked on it, it does nothing.  Did I miss installing something?

My next step is to SSH or VNC into each Pi Zero.  I look forward to more experimentatoin with this great product.

Hi, 

1. I was surprised that with a 3A 5V supply I got a low voltage warning. 

So am I, but you're not the only one to have issues recently.

What is the version number on the silk screen of both Pi3 and Pi Zeros you're using and what model of PSU (link if possible)?

 

2. There is a CLUSTERHAT tab in the System tab.  When I clicked on it, it does nothing.  Did I miss installing something?

I'm afraid the GUI tool can only be used with ClusterHAT v1.x and will most likely be removed in the next image in favour of using the command line tool which works with all versions.

Also do you have any other devices plugged into the Pi3 other than the clusterhat/zeros?

Hi Chris,

I do not have anything else plugged into the Pi3.  I put the system inside the black enclosure I bought for it so board version info requires a dissassembly.   I used 4 Pi Zeros W before I realized the non-W version was a better fit.  Thus I am planning to disassemble the box and change out the Zeros.  I will send you the rev numbers then.  Perhaps I should buy another clusterhat for this kind of experimenting?
