Charging via USB

Post by ThunderBoyDavid »

Is it possible to charge the RaspiBoy using USB connected to an AC Outlet?? or a PC?
Thanks, David, ThunderBoyDavid

Only the micro USB is for charging! The two USB connectors are for data only. They should not be used for charging

Yes, I've used both a phone charger and plugged into a laptop. So long as you are using the microUSB on the raspbiboy and not charging while playing you will be fine.

If you charge Raspiboy on a laptop/computer the available power from computer is limited to 0.5A, charging require about 1A to work at full speed. So I would suggest using an AC adapter
