How to power Raspberry Pi and Arduino from LiPo batteries

In most robot projects you'll have a battery to power the motors and actuators. You also need a controller, where Raspberry Pi and Arduino are convenient and powerful options. In this video I show how you can power that controller from the LiPo battery. In the first part I cover various parts you can use to generate 5 volts. Next I cover some parts and techniques to deliver 5V into the board.
