Original power connector pinout?

Post by jermzz » Tue Feb 28, 2017 1:18 pm

Hey guys. Anyone know which pins to use on the original power jack so I can use one of these cables?

Dremeling the case over there for micro USB just looks like garbage on such a work of art. The original one fits right in there all perfect.

Thanks!

i agree with the micro usb options, they look rough.... plus now with the Pi Zero W even the usb port is gonna be basically redundant...

i'm going down the barrel port route , picked up a pack for next to nothing

the wiring will be the same on all of these types of port/socket

interesting placement of your Pi, whats the thinking behind that

Perfect! Thanks for the diagram!

As for the pi, I was trying something new. Looks not bad really, puts all the ports right there. Originally I was hoping
I could use the onboard USB power port as the charge port to the powerboost to forgo the micro USB port all together. But I soon found out that wouldn't work. Lol

There's enough room to put an SD breakout there too. Not having the hdmi on the side leaves room for a second USB port.

I feel even with the pi zero w a USB port is still handy for a keyboard. Here's a few pics
