Hoping this works: purchased rasp pi 4b, tone board 1 plus a couple other hats which will go into a head unit with touchscreen powered by Crankshaft, an Android Auto based OS for rasp pi.
Will KTB utilize the 40 pin header from rasp pi 4 and pull power and data from it?
or do I want to set it apart from the rest of the hardware? in which case I still want to power off the 5v pin and reserve usb just for data. Where would best place to pull power from?
Anyone use with Crankshaft, will it be able to see the KTB? Or would it need its own dedicated rasp pi board running Volumio?
Hope this makes sense to someone…
Thank you in advance
(this is my first rasp pi project, fyi… hope I didn’t bite off more than I can chew with this.)
Thank you very much. I need further clarification however if you don’t mind:
Where is r28 located? I’m looking at diagram and it isn’t visually lining up with board. How do I remove it, does it need to be de-soldered?
Can I use the USB port for data only and power the board by Gnd and vbus pins?
I read somewhere that sound quality is better if power and data are in different cables. Is this true?
Does Raspberry Pi OS have the drivers for this?
Thank you for your assistance
(edit)
ps: I also read that if 5v power is connected to board then the power over usb is automatically deactivated. Is this not true?
as an alternative… anyone know if OpenAuto (for Rpi) would work on Vim3? Sorry if this is a newb question. With respect to this I am one… Have to start somewhere. Thanks very much!
