Power Board

Power Board PCB Blueprints

The power board is a breakout board which takes the SPI protocol wires from the Raspberry Pi IO and passes them on to the each of the individual panels. Along with the SPI protocol wires, this board will also power the SSS panels.

Power Board Schematics

The power board receives all of the Raspberry Pi IO on its 8 x 2 Raspberry Pi headers and reroutes them to the BOARD_n headers. These BOARD_n pins will connect to the SV1 pins on the panels. There is also a barrel jack on this board where a DC adapter that outputs 5V and 4A will supply power to all of the ICs and LED seven segment digits on the panels of the SSS.
