Look in the Exercise Files for vcgencmd.pi, run it, and then compare your results to the suggestions on the table. This is totally confusing, so I wrote a Python program that will read the value from vcgencmd get_throttled, then decipher the warning messages. Vcgencmd get_throttled will return throttled=0x5 which is the value of the first bit plus the value of the third bit. And the Raspberry Pi is currently throttled because of it. So if an undervoltage is detected and the Raspberry Pi is currently throttled because of it, vcgencmd get_throttled will return throttled=0x5 followed by zeroes, which is the first bit plus the value of the third bit. In this case, bit one has a binary value of two, which is added to vcgencmd get_throttled and returns a result of two. If an error occurs, that flag is turned on, and the binary value of that bit is added to vcgencmd get_throttled. Notice that in the table, the first bit of vcgencmd get_throttled is referred to as bit zero. That would indicate an undervoltage is detected. If only the first flag is on, the hex number would be 0x1. It's actually a hex representation of a collection of one-bit flags. In this case, we're looking at throttled=0x50000. You'll get back the string throttled= followed by a number that starts with 0x. To use vcgencmd, open a terminal and type in vcgencmd, followed by a space and then get_throttled, T-H-R-O-T-T-L-E-D. To detect a low voltage, you can watch for the lightning bolt. Possibly worse than this, lower voltages will cause corruption on your SD card. Much lower than 4.63 volts and your Raspberry Pi will stop working. The Raspberry Pi will slow down the processor to match the drop in voltage. At 4.63 volts, it's going to complain about low voltage. Hi, I'm Mark Niemann-Ross, and welcome to this week's edition of "Raspberry Pi Weekly." Every week, we explore the Raspberry Pi and share useful tips. You might want to know how to detect this, how to test it, and how to fix it. Your power supply isn't keeping up with your Raspberry Pi. There, do you see that lightning bolt? That says your Raspberry Pi is under voltage.
