I bought one of these
http://www.amazon.com/DROK-Regulator-Adjustable-Converter-Indicator/dp/B00HHQ0VP4
couldn't find a datasheet, but this was on the description on the website i bought it from.
Indicator : dual color indicator , charging indicator light is red , the green light means fully charged ( No load is green )
its a DC-DC buck converter that I am using to step 36 V battery to 5 V powering a servo motor and a Raspberry Pi.
As soon as the buck converter converts power the LED colour turns blue (meaning green i guess if referring to website description)
when i connect 1st load(servo) it still operates and its blue, but as soon as i connect my raspberry Pi it turns red.
i got scared and unplugged the pi.
if anyone has any knowledge of why this is the case (what does it mean by charging? inductor charging? it should charge thats how it drops the voltage), let me know. plz and ty
by the way, servo and raspberry pi require 5V, so i connected them in parallel, as for the current the Pi needs minimum of 750 mA and the motor lets just say 3A
