Title: Raspi running from ATX PSU? Post by: gt_addict on May 29, 2016, 06:41:25 PM Hi everyone,
I will be receiving a rpi3 soon to run my mini miners and would like it all to run from the ATX psu that I currently have everything plugged into. The psu is hooked upto a breakout board from eyeboot which from what I can see has a 5v white 4pin socket on it. I have no idea what this socket is called but would it be able to power the pi? Alternatively could I use an lm2596 based voltage regulator to power the pi from a 12v feed or is the pi sensitive to voltage fluctuations? Thanks. Title: Re: Raspi running from ATX PSU?

Thanks. here is a set of links for you http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Foldable-Technology-Motorola/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=sr_1_3? http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Foldable-iPhone/dp/B012WMWPJW/ref=sr_1_1? http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Foldable-iPhone/dp/B012WLUKHC/ref=sr_1_2? all of these run rasp pi's great. you are better off keeping the rasp pi on this separate from the atx and the atx powers the usb hub / miners Title: Re: Raspi running from ATX PSU?

Ive got a power supply coming with it but just trying to think of ways to reduce the amount of plugs/cables and make full use of the atx.
Ive seen people use the old style big 4 pin molex connectors. I suppose I could use an old micro usb cable and an old molex connection and solder them together. Title: Re: Raspi running from ATX PSU?

You can get a loop if you use the raspi and the eyeboot with the same power supply And you plug the eyeboot hub into the raspi Title: Re: Raspi running from ATX PSU?

Thanks. you can do it i saw a post the other day on the web can't find it now they had it all running off a atx psu with custom made cables ..sense i won't do but it's a idea that way you might save some space form the 110 line junk and even be able to use everything on one line over a 240 line on a atx . I use this http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Foldable-Technology-Motorola/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=sr_1_3? and is one phip linked i have been using for a year now might get a few more they save space over the annoying plugs that all most all ways seem to use up to much room on the surge plug or what ever you use. |
