Solving the power supply issue when connecting a companion computer to a drone

Proud moment in my autonomous AI drone build! Problem: I installed an edge computer on the drone so that the AI models could control it. However, power supply was still an issue. The computer needed to pull from the same battery source as that of the drone (instead of an external power source) so that they could all fly together in one piece. I have no formal training in electricity, but I wired a bunch of random stuff together (including cut up iPhone cables) and it worked! The computer didn't fry and no fire extinguisher needed, phew.
