Hi everyone
I am trying to figure out if my setup will work or I am going to blow up my Pico.
I want to use the Pico together with Pico to Pi HAT
and connect it to this Battery HAT
I plan to use it in combination with Inky Impression 7.3"
I know that the “proper” way is just to get the Inky Frame with Pico.
I want to explore other options to do the setup.
Theoretically, this could work: Pico to Pi HAT, battery HAT, pin-extender socket, Inky Impression. But this would be very unstable mechanically. And it would constantly feed 5V from the battery to the Pico. So you will have to make sure you use intelligent power-management (sleep-modes) from your program.
I have a similar setup with an Inky Impression 5, but I am using my own Pico to Pi HAT and in addition a power-shim for the battery. You can look at this post for details: Weather display project - #15 by bablokb
(scroll up from that link which only shows the image, a few posts up there are a few links to the adapter-hat and the shim).
