Are you considering to use a Raspberry Pi in one of your projects?  Have you considered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power your Raspberry Pi? What is Power over Ethernet? Power over Ethernet is a standardized technology that enables powering devices that consume very low power to be powered by an Ethernet cable(Wikipedia). The electrical cable is transmitted via a cable pair that is not used for Ethernet communications. How does it work? A PoE enabled device is connected

If you haven’t of the weird reset problem with the Raspberry Pi 2, this article is a great place to start. Dave L. Jones of the EEV blog explains photoelectric effect observed in semiconductors that aids in understanding the reset cause by a camera flash in the Raspberry Pi 2.
