Hi Tim,
How about a small battery back up that can signal the software that it need to save and shutdown cleanly when it loses power.

My biggest complaint is the things have no power/reset switch out of the box (it is possible to add via a DIY mod) but other than that, it's a quite useful little device for Smalltalk!
I’m inclined to agree, but my attempted solution is to start work on a HAT that would provide a) power input from a wider range of PSUs with a switchmode regulator etc b) cooling (for heavily worked Pi3’s particularly - I did manage to work one so hard it just shut down) c) power/reboot switch d) (maybe) a basic ADC e) (maybe) some other small missing item
It’s very up in the air right now, might be a first attempt at a kickstarter etc. Anyone here interested?
