Hey folks! I've noticed that my Raspberry Pi is running at around 4.6V, even though it's connected to a 5V power supply shared with an LED strip. I'm considering adding a capacitor at the end of the power supply connection. Do you think that would help stabilize the voltage and get it closer to 5V?

Adding a capacitor might help if you’re experiencing sudden bursts of current draw that cause voltage dips. However, if your Pi is just sitting at a steady 4.6V, it sounds like your power supply might not be up to par. Make sure it's not just a consistent drop, as that could indicate a problem.
That makes sense! It gives me a warning that it's at 4.6V. I think it fluctuates but for short bursts.
