If anyone would help Thank you in advance; Im not the most experienced. I Love this PiDog kit and want to learn more. Im using a Pi5 (Sunfounder doesn’t list it as compatible. Im under the impression newer Pi’s are compatible with older kits?) I have almost all examples working, even the phone app, but when it got to move more than one servo at a time the Pi turns off. I have disabled the usb current in the menu as well as: sudo raspi-config. I guess I’m go to order a Pi 4 to see if this is the issue.

The problem with the pi 5 is its energy consumption, when you turn on the pidog and put it to work you can notice that when you get up the raspberry turns off, because the robot hat is not capable of supplying the necessary energy for the pi 5, I had the Same problem and I had to solve it by buying a Pi 4, but even if you buy the Pi 4 you will quickly notice that you can't do much with the servos since they are of poor quality and do not support the weight of the Pidog well.
