Hi,

The biggest problem you have is the incompatibility with position of Reset Gold Pin and as also of Power Enable pin. So you will be needed to use separate short cables to connect these points between UPS PIco and RPi. Regarding the software I will be able to answer on Tuesday as must do some testing and confirm. However, to solve the hardware incompatibility you can order UPS PIco HV4.0 which is compatible with all former models as also the RPi 4

Best Regards

Pi Master

I was not aware of that incompatibility with bullseye. Is  there any way how to fix the error:

********************************

Since I cannot edit my previous post: After another reboot and a hardware reset of my pico board it seems fine now. Some packages needed to be installed for python and some python scripts needed to be adjusted for the use with python 3.9 but in the end everything works fine.

I'm running in the same problem. Trying to get a UPS Pico HV3.0A running on a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS. The procedure in the manual is not working with Bullseye.

Any updates?

Hi, This problem has been solved. However still under testing. A big company using our products asked for it, so will be released very soon.

However, it will be only for version GPIO Free
