“Works as advertised though it would be nice if there were a couple of 5v contact points on it though as you loose both of the gpio pins when using this.”
“Very tiny does its job well, and provides terminals for pass-through power. The only complaint is that there is no clear documentation about the pass through power terminals.”
“Great way of getting power to a Pi. I used it to power a Pi I turned into a smart doorbell. The large voltage input range is great. It can help combat voltage drop on longer cable runs and gives a lot of flexibility on the power supply voltage too.”
“In high humidity the micro usb power source plug/jack is very unreliable - add some dust and . . . This is the perfect fix plus I use 12 vdc for everything else.”
“From the hardware perspective I would give this 5 stars. Unfortunately it gets 1 star 1 star for not referencing documentation, links to documentation or adding a simple configuration guide for soldering the header correctly. So it's useless.
The irony is I get this email to review the wide input shim, while I was racking my brain looking for documentation on this product. Still haven't found any.
Love the shim. Hate that the seller couldn't be bothered to link any documentation on the product page.”
