Testing voltage drops on Raspberry Pi 2

For smooth operation the voltage on Raspberry Pi 2 board should be in between 4.75 and 5.25 volts.

Test Case:
Voltage drops below 4.75V on Raspberry Pi 2 board

What you need:

1. Arduino UNO board
2. USB A-to-B cable
3. Hookup wires
4. Computer with Arduino IDE installed

Wiring:
Using hookup wires,

1. connect PRi2 GIPO pin 2 with Arduino analog pin A0.
2. connect RPi2 GIPO pin 6 with Arduino GND

Uploading Sketch:

1. Connect your Arduino with PC using USB A-to-B cable.

2. Upload the following Arduino sketch in to your Arduino UNO board.

   void setup()
   {
   Serial.begin(9600);
   }

   void loop()
   {
   int gipoVoltage = analogRead(A0);

   float voltage = gipoVoltage * (5.0 / 1023.0);

   Serial.println(voltage);

   //delay(1000);
   }

Executing:

1. Open Arduino Serial Monitor from the Arduino IDE.
2. Power up to start the ORxPi receiver.
3. The Arduino Serial Monitor will continually display the voltage on Raspberry Pi 2 board.
