From the project
This project is step by step explanation of how I created my own UPS HAT for Pi Zero 2/2W
This project is a budget-friendly UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2.
I built this because I personally use a Pi Zero 2, and I needed a reliable battery backup (UPS) for it. Most ready-made UPS solutions available are either:
Too expensive Overkill for Pi Zero * Poorly designed or unreliable
So instead of buying one, I designed my own UPS PCB from scratch.
