Using a JST plug to power the StereoPi v2: what do I need to know?

Post by glowingskull »

What sort of power do I need to put into the JST plug? Is 5.2V at 1A from something like the Adafruit PowerBoost 1000C sufficient, or do I need to supply more amps?

Do I need to worry about overcurrent protection on the StereoPi v2's JST connection? I've seen comments saying you shouldn't supply 5V direct to the GPIO pins unless you're sure of your power supply, because there's no protection there.
