wiring prototype board to powerboost

yankyfan09 · Post by **yankyfan09** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 1:50 pm

I'm following wermys guide on how to wire everything up and I don't know where to wire the prototype board to the power boost so that I can get power to the screen and raspberry pi and anything else? I've included a image of the board I'm talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This board goes to the upper part of the case. Take your longest wires and solder them to GND and to the usb plug on the pb1kc

The shortest are meant to distribute the power among the upper part, for the pi, the screen, the amp, the controller and if needed the hub

Thank you for the reply. So if I am understanding correctly, I'm going to wire the two longest wires to the same USB and Gnd that the micro usb charging port is soldered to?

No the other one, if you use this one the battery will be useless. If you have the Powerboost from adafruit.com (or a reseller) it is where was put the usb port, the one in which you are supposed to plug your device if you use it as a powerbank

Theses are much cheaper and works also, that's what I use. You only need to wire the line yourself

They're super common at radioshack or other electronic supply stores, if you don't want to wait for an online shipment like me.
