[atlas] Question about unstable power and probe

Maybe you should attach the power to a cheap  USB battery pack and leave
that permanently recharging?

Some cannot simultaneously charge and discharge.  Some can.

The "USB UPS" is the tool you want here.

Example:

I think the bigger problem would be "fluttering" power that might cause the
probe to hang and require a manual hard power cycle.

But if the power interruptions are short, an in-line battery should help.
