How to power supplying RPI2b + Piface Rack + 2 Piface Digital ?

chezdomotix
chezdomotix over 8 years ago

Hello all,

My machine to light up 16 220V AC LED with RPI2b + Piface Rack + 2 Piface Digital + 2 SSR boards is on the way.

 

Now, what is the best way to set up the 5V power supply of this RPI kit ?

 

By now I used the micro-USB port of the RPI which gives the power to the Piface Rack and the 2 Piface Digital.

But during transport, the micro USB connector tears off, so i'm looking for another way to power-supplying the set.

I saw few doc in Google on this.

There is many 5V pins, ports, Barel jack, test points & jumpers on each board related to the 5V & ground.

But i do not well understand how to stack this 5V Line.

The SSR boards are powered separately on the RPI side with lines from the same 5V DC converter & ground as the RPI Kit, and all works well.

I can do soldering if needed.

 

Thank you in advance !

    May want to take a look at BitScope Blade Power & Mounting Solutions for Raspberry Pi . They seem to be one canned solution. Note: I do not get compensated for this, but do due diligence. Please blog about the project when you get your hardware...

    Thank you Clem for Bitscope's very interesting Power & mounting solution for the Raspberry Pi that i'll surely use from now.

    Looking at the details of the Bitscope Blade, I have a beginning answer to my real question,

    which is in fact:

     

    How to wire the 5V power without using micro-USB to power the complete kit RPI+PiRack+PiDigital?

     

    As Bitscope says the J8 (40 pins) is used in the Blades products, I think I can use the PiRack's Barel Jack DC port to power the kit

    as well as the RPI's micro-USB. This way, the 5V DC line should not be teared off.

     

    Any comment?
