Powering Raspberry Pi from RAMBo?
August 12, 2013 12:00PM
I'm putting together a custom Rostock and I'd like to be able to run a Raspberry Pi and a RAMBo from just one power supply. I'm not the best at dealing with electronics--I cooked one board already so I'm a little hesitant to experiment on my own. Does anyone have any idea how I could connect the RasPi to the RAMBo so I only have to power the RAMBo?

The Pi will draw 500~750mA. According to the RAMBo schematic, you can find 5V and GND on X1. You can also find 5V and GND many of the expansion headers (SPI, I2C, Serial, PWM, Motor).

5V amd GND can be dound on the Pi GPIO header, pins 2 and 6.

Just meter everything out to verify voltage and polarity before you hook anything up. Reversing them could be...expensive.
