RPi 3 + RPi Touchscreen 7" + RaZberry2

Post by DoubleJ »

Hi,

I have a RPi3 with the RPi 7" touchscreen. I want to connect the RaZberry2 to the RPi3 but the Touchscreen has alraedy the pins 2 and 6 in use for the power. Is it possible to connect the RaZberry to the RPi3 and the Touchscreen? Can I use the 'Second Open Connector'? Or do you recommend to power the touchscreen on another way?

I hope some can help me :D

Tnx!

In my experience the touchscreen is better being powered separately with another USB Power Supply anyway as the two combined can cause brownouts which affect the Pi.
