Mechatrax functions as peripheral device for Raspberry Pi, it released a new model of power management and life monitoring module "slee-Pi3" . In addition to the functions of the conventional series, it realizes long-term real-time clock backup, addition of external input/output terminals, and more flexible power supply monitoring.

An expansion module that enables stable operation and intermittent operation of the Raspberry Pi by strengthening the power supply, and monitoring functions. It supports a wide range of DV6-24V power supplies and converts it to 5V on the board to supply it, allowing the Raspberry Pi to operate stably. It also has functions such as power supply/voltage value and heartbeat monitoring of the main unit, monitoring of always-on software, and forced power off and power on when the main unit does not respond.

Also, the real-time clock backup function has been strengthened. By installing a button battery as standard, it is possible to keep the time for about two years even when the power is off. It corresponds to start-up (cold boot) from power off at specified time and intermittent operation at 10-minute intervals.

In addition, it is equipped with an external input/output terminal that can control the main body in cooperation with an external sensor. It is also possible to measure the voltage of the main and sub 2 power supply inputs at the same time, which makes it possible to more flexibly deal with the voltage drop due to deterioration over time.
