✅ - Board shuts off after about 1 min

[nova merlin]

Any way to keep the board on longer. It seems like mine shuts off after about a minute. Not sure if it's my board or power supply that's just shutting off automatically. Anyone else experience this?

P.E.N.E.L.O.P.E. - USB power bank keep-alive/awake board. This Board is used to prevent USB power banks from going into "sleep / shut off" mode. Some USB power bank will turn-off after a period of time, when they don't detect enough of a current draw being used, this could cause your project to lose power. This board "fools" the USB power bank into staying on and not powering down. It measures 35mm x 28mm, and works with most USB power banks.

Thank you for that info does anyone know of a power bank that doesn’t require you to add the Penelope board?

"Always On" Power banks are generally more expensive than standard USB Power Banks
