PiZero Powered through CRT Components?

rivera82falcon

Greetings all! Long time lurker and love to read everyone's projects, discussions, and debates.

 

I finally picked up a PiZero (camera edition) because I want to recreate the CRT Raspberry Pi project featured here at Element14 with my son (5 year old). This was his idea as I started going around browsing and he hasn't stopped talking about this since image.  Ideally, I'd like to use the circuitry from the CRT to power the Pi so I only have one power cord. I'm using a Sylvania SSC192 which has a VHS player on it. From what I see on the schematics, it looks like there is a 5V point available. Is it safe to solder onto this point and not damage the Pi? I will have an additional switch in place so the Pi doesn't have power running to it 24/7.

 

I appreciate the help here, thank you! image

    Wow...I've never heard of anyone referring to their location like that in my life, especially in the US. So for Roger to post "What the h***...", that is exactly what I was thinking.

     

    I'm from New Jersey (USA) and that's all anyone needs to know, personally. As for CRT, I did leave the exact model so in terms of information, more than enough has been provided.

    To JRF: a fellow Tri-State(er). (Tri-state: being NY NJ, Connecticut).AAR did JRF ever go to TCFyyyy (Trenton  Computer Festival yr.,yr.,yr.,yr)? Usually held in the Month of March (once/year) in the town of Trenton, NJ. TCF2016 had some Arduino/RaspPi Workshops, BUT not even close to the level of discussion here at element14. BTW are you a College/Pro Football Fan? I follow USC Trojans, although my BSEE -73 was from Syracuse University and I follow the Pittsburgh Steelers."Context is Everything"
