Battery and power monitor

[Myzhar]

Hi,
I’m struggling to search a good solution to safely power the AGX Orin of my robot.

I have a 4S LiPo battery powering the AGX with a DC-DC to keep a stable power source.
I’m searching for a simple power monitor with a communication interface (uart, CAN, USB,…) to check the value with the Jetson and safely power it off by software when the battery is exhausted.

Does anyone have a ready solution to recommend?

Thank you
Walter

Hi,
Here are some suggestions for the common issues:

1. Performance

Please run the below command before benchmarking deep learning use case:

$ sudo nvpmodel -m 0
$ sudo jetson_clocks

2. Installation

Installation guide of deep learning frameworks on Jetson:

• TensorFlow: Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform - NVIDIA Docs
• PyTorch: Installing PyTorch for Jetson Platform - NVIDIA Docs
  We also have containers that have frameworks preinstalled:
  Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, HPC Containers | NVIDIA NGC

3. Tutorial

Startup deep learning tutorial:

• Jetson-inference: Hello AI World guide to deploying deep-learning inference networks and deep vision primitives with TensorRT and NVIDIA Jetson
• TensorRT sample: Jetson/L4T/TRT Customized Example - eLinux.org

4. Report issue

If these suggestions don’t help and you want to report an issue to us, please attach the model, command/step, and the customized app (if any) with us to reproduce locally.

Thanks!

Hi @carolyuu
I think there’s a misunderstanding.
I’m not referring to computing power monitor, but to battery power (charge status) monitor.

We don’t have recommendation on this. You can check with the vendors in Jetson Ecosystem | NVIDIA Developer for options.
