I recently start seeing issue on my Pi 3 B, cluster 1.3 with 4x pi zero 1.2. pi zero setup to boot without SD card.

When I start 3x pi0, the cluster rebooted. i have a feeling it is my power supply aged and not keeping up.

Any suggestion what supply I should replace or, a work around to boost enough juice for the whole cluster?

So, I supposed to use a 5v 2.4A in this setup?? I think current one power supply only has 1A... that might be the problem

Hi,

throttled:0x70000

That shows you've had power issues since boot ( https://www.8086.net/tools/decode-get_throttled?d=0x70000 ).

Yes, the 1 Amp PSU would be working hard. I'd advise upgrading to the official Raspberry Pi 2.5 Amp 5.1 V PSU as they work really well.

Chris.

Thanks, Chris.

My aged 2.4A one went dead, and I put in the wrong one... will fixed that.
