Depending on the rest of your power...

Are you sure that the Tinkerboy powerswitch will work without a battery? Normally these lipo charge/boost converter needs a battery to output 5V, even if you plug in USB power. And you should consider making the pi USB accessible from outside, because that would make the setup a lot easy. Also I can...

There is an update on the topic: After ~10h normal gaming, last night suddenly the power supply of my built failed. It turned out, that the current consumption had increased to 1.5 A, which my power supply can not deliver and therefore shuts down. Reason for the high power demand is the display, whi...

Of course the build features a switch to disconnect the power completlly, including the screen. Surely I can/will provide more detailed information about my power supply, when I am back from my christmas holidays. But I am not sure if that helps to solve the issue. Let me describe the problem with d...
