Converting off the Rpi GPIO feed, back onto the display feed via USB with this adapter only briefly shows lightning bolt at bootup (hi demand). Using white RPI adapter in this config is no good forever. Will stick with this config as aesthetically fewer cables if using RPI short USB cable. So it looks like this is a better adapter in general for Pi? Still not sure if its due to better cable, PS specs or bit of both? But happy. Upside is inline on/off switch which is fine on piCorePlayer.

Re: [slim] Lightning bolt on Jivelite with Original 7" touch screen and piCorePlayer, Pi3
Thanks for the hint. Sounds like there's a drop due to cable quality then mostly. BTW using GPIO + Rpi 2.1A adapter it works fine too BUT using GPIO + 4A adapter + selection of different cables, all no good I can't test the Pi adapter and cable separately which is a pity, so its not clear if its cable or adapter. mherger wrote: > Just another note: I've seen the same with a Pi2.

I tried using GPIO o'p and it works fine (bolt gone) thanks. toplard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Solved with a heavier duty cable plus a a beefy USB power supply (but it was the cable that had the bigger effect).

Re: [slim] Lightning bolt on Jivelite with Original 7" touch screen and piCorePlayer, Pi3
Splitting the power is best..you can get a Y splitter and use one good power supply. You can also use the gpio header and connect power via the pinsbut the power supply needs to connect to the rpi. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

[slim] Lightning bolt on Jivelite with Original 7" touch screen and piCorePlayer, Pi3
I'm using piCorePlayer just for the Jivelite add-on. And also I'm extending power from the screens USB power out to the Pi's power in. When in this configuration I get the lightening bolt no matter how low I set brightness etc. But when I use separate power for both screen and Pi, it goes away. Also when I use a mains power tester the draw is the same for both configurations. So it seems the Pi 3 is too power hungry. Not tried a Pi2 yet. Is there anything I can do with the screens USB out to increase power to the Pi, or reduce demand of the Pi3? Are my assumptions correct?
