[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 1128139, member: 97876"] Fyi, in a project for a friend of mine, i powered the rpi with the 5V psu that also drove the leds. However i did not connect 5V to the gpio, but rather cut a normal micro usb cable into half and simply connected the red and black wire to the psu. This way the rpi inbuild overvoltage protection is still being used. The arduino is powered through usb from the rpi as Rick mentioned. [/QUOTE]
