I'm to build a game boy but with a raspberry pi 3 on the inside. When wiring up the screen to the pi I get the low voltage warning. I see many other people on the forum use a pi 3. Has anyone solved the low voltage problem or has any insite on how to fix it?

Tips:
Power supply must provide a minimum of 1A and must provide at least 5V to have no low voltage warning. If so you risk damaging it (SD card can corrupt and other things). You can increase the gauge of the wire to fix this but check the pSU you are using. Also get a multimeter and check what the voltage is at the PI and not the PSU.

So I figured out the problem. It was a result of the incorrect 5v mod I did. Fixing the mod removed the low power warning. I don't know if the low voltage problem will occur again when I use a rechargeable battery as I'm testing with the pi powered from a 2.1 amp wall wart.
If the problem arrises again I'll restart this post and [mention]Brandonmel[/mention] , we will fix the issue.

Im assuming youre using the powerboost 1000c.
use the basic model instead.
1000c = 1amp
1000b = 2-2.5amps
