Hi, I have a Servo pHAT (DEV-15316) and a Raspberry Pi Zero. Can I power both using a USB-C power bank? I have one and it didn’t work. Just wondering if it’s my particular power bank or all power banks.
You can if the power bank supplies enough amps; try it with a wall wart usb-c or a larger/newer battery bank to be certain…a usb 2.0 charger likely won’t work (500mA)
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pi … e-overview has a good overview…If you power all 16 servos simultaneously it might not work (larger servos might also cause issues), but for the most part the answer is “Yes”
