Re: Powerboost
Maybe one could combine the TP4056 with the still available PowerBoost 1000 (without a C)?!

Re: Powerboost
Just checking for clarification. The standard usb is the power output that goes to the RPi and in addition, you wired the screen to it as well? I bought two to play around with. Soooo cheap.sander wrote:The wiring is simple, battery + goes to the + pad and the battery - to the - pad on the pcb. The micro usb port is for charging and the regular one is where you connect the Rpi. You can remove this last connector to make the board a lot smaller. I connected the rpi zero and the screen and the load I see is about 400mah. So I think 1A is more then enough.
Re: Powerboost
Yes that is how I did it. I will remove the big USB plug as it takes a lot of space and I will not use the plug.Kilren wrote: Just checking for clarification.

I modified my screen to run on 5V (normally 12V) and also connected it.
And yes it is very cheap
