BitScope Blade Duo is a desktop, rack or wall mountable power and mounting solution for a pair of Raspberry Pi computers. Blade Duo solves the power problem when using the Raspberry Pi in industrial or other critical applications by providing constant, regulated power for up to 2 Raspberry Pi units and 8 USB devices (connected via the Raspberry Pi's) from a single on-board 5V switch mode power supply. It can be used with simple plug packs, 12V batteries, low cost uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and even passive power over ethernet (PoE) solutions. Blade Duo can even be used to power and mount the Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display, two Raspberry Pi, and up to eight BitScopes! Full access to Raspberry Pi I/O including I2C, SPI, UART, PWM and GPIO is provided via the Blade HUB CAP expansion socket underneath each Raspberry Pi. Connect personality cards (e.g. a real-time clock, operation status displays, or almost any other physical I/O that conform to these standards).
