I need an advice on how to power my Raspberry Pi Pico W from an 11.1 V LiPo battery for a drone project. I don't have space or time to build circuitry so I would rather just buy a component that would do this for me. Raspberry Pi Pico W accepts 1.8-5.5 V as input due to its ob-board buck-boost converter. The same LiPo battery will be used to power BLDC drivers and BLDCs so is it even worth using the same battery for the Raspberry Pi and the motors or should I rather invest in a separate smaller power supply exclusively for the Raspberry?

Thanks in advance :)

Thought about running from the esc bec..??
I don't have a lot of experience with this and this is my first project of this size so I never even heard of BEC.

As understand from reading a bit about it, I can power the Raspberry Pi like so: Battery (11 V) -> BEC (5 V) -> Raspberry Pi 5 V)? And the ESCs parallely?
