Using the AutoPi with an external power supply (LAB)

Guides
#22

Where is the toggle to quickly enable/disable all power saving/management functions and the shut down/hibernate/sleep triggers?

It would be pretty silly to have to always remember and disable various hardware power settings and remember specific voltage settings to change each time I want to work under controlled conditions, such as at my desk and the AutoPi sold power dongle, or with my car and a low-voltage trickle charger.

There probably was a professional solution implemented to disable all power saving functions that I’m just too dumb to find. Thanks!

If anyone is in the same situation as me, I ordered the OBD power cable from AutoPi, but it wouldn’t power the device with my bench power supply. I checked voltage on the screws and it was fine. Checked the pins on the OBD port and no voltage. So the issue was that the cables were not properly peeled at the screw connector. Fortunately its easy to unscrew, peel correctly, and reconnect.
