A Question About Power Cables
-
Dumb question, but is there a way to splice the raspi’s power cable with the power supply from the monitor so I only have one cable going to the outlet, or am I going to have to use two outlets to power my mirror?
-
You’re going to want to use two… trust me.
-
@cowboysdude i’ll take your word for it then. Thanks.
-
Different voltages… you’ll burn that pi up LOL

Put one of these in. All your power needs and only one wire leading out of the mirror to one outlet.

@Mykle1 damn, hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!

I use a travel charger. It has an AC outlet for the monitor and a hefty USB socket for the Pi. Plus, you can plug other things into the USB sockets (such as LED lights).
