Powering Pi4 through 5V and GND's Automation Hat terminals?

Support
1

I am using the Automation Hat on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I’m trying to have acces to the 5V and GND pins so that I can power it with an external power supply (without the USB port).

Is this possible?

Can we have access to the Automation Hat’s schmematics so that I can figure this out?

Thanks for any help

You mean this schematic?

edit: hmm, no that’s lacking some significant details

However, this question does look to have been answered before - Automatino hat - power to rip

The short answer appears to be yes, but with caveats.

Yes, I think it’s good enough for what I need.

Thanks!! Just tried it on a Pi that I was ready to sacrifice, but all appears to be working.
