I'm a developer and just getting started with the hardware side of things. I've done a few projects now and have had 2 of them where I run into issues with power.
Project 1:
I'm working on a project with a raspberry pi 2 where there are 2 hardware add-ons that use the GPIO for power. On the spec sheets both use 5v of power and there are 2 5v with a ground based on the pin layout.
The add ons are the :
7" pi touch 2: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... ifications
(3 pin header that covers the 2 5v and the ground)
Enviro+ : https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/envi ... 5658457171
(40 pin header covering the whole thing)
What is the best way to get power to both of these units?
Project 2:
I also built a magicMirror2 that ends up needing 2 power cables going to it. Is there a good way to get this down to just a single cable that has to go into the wall? I tried a USB-C splitter but I got a low power warning and switch it back
