Power input for PiFace digital and Raspberry from ATX

Former Member

I have PIface digital and ATX power supply for PC. Can I use power +5 from ATX power supply for PIface digital and Raspberry board at the same time?

 

If it possible how can I use it?

 

P.S.

Sorry, I don't have expirience in electronic equipment.

 

Best regards

  • Yes you can you will need to connect all the 5V rails together if they are not already connected.

    You will also need to make sure that you do not ttry to power the RPI from another PSU at the same time and also the Power On Pin 16? on the ATX plug needs to be taken low to start the PSU.

     

    Make sure you are confident the system is corectly wired as the ATX PSU will deliver much higher currents than the "wall warts" and cook up your boards ;( !!!
