Supply power to Pi and to XHAT separately

Thanks you @alphanumeric, thank you @Matt.

  • First thing I’ll try is plugging the power on the Pi, if that works, would be great.
  • I am also going to try unplugging pins 2 and 4, as I don’t have to cut the cable or unsolder anything. The cable i am using allows me to unplug each pin.

You can see my setup here, before assembling the XHAT to a support. I though about getting a more capable power supply, like a 10A or something, but i suppose it wouldn’t work - If the problem is the resistance imposed by the rainbow cable, I would need more voltage, which isn’t ok as it could damage my boards, correct?
