Raspberry Pi based SensorGnomes in off-grid setups are most susceptible to underpowered situations due to the higher voltage requirements in comparison to BeagleBone computers (5.1 V required for Raspberry Pi; 5.0 for BeagleBone). The DC-DC voltage converter used in the SensorGnome, which converts the batteries 12 Volts down to something the computer can use, outputs just 5.0 Volts and 2.0 Amps. This alone isn't enough for the SenorGnome to malfunction, but over time wear and tear to the USB cable and its connections can increase the resistance to the flow of electricity and can eventually result in a malfunctioning system.
