My Raspberry Pi finally showed up today! Naturally, an unboxing event was in order…
I haven’t gotten around to setting up my SD card yet, but I just wanted to see if it would power on with the BeagleJuice sitting on my desk. In theory, it should work, since the BeagleJuice outputs 5V from each of the 2-pin molex connectors.
I took the micro USB cable that I spliced last week and plugged it into the Raspberry Pi…
…then I connected the other end to the BeagleJuice.
And voila! The Raspberry Pi powers on, as indicated by the red power LED next to the audio jack. Just for kicks, I plugged in the BeagleBone to the BeagleJuice as well (with a 5V barrel jack) to make sure they both run simultaneously, and they do :-)
