Powerboost vs USB problem
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 4:12 pm
So I thought I found a solution because it starts out just like this post: https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=5524 but not quite. My RPi works perfectly when connected directly to USB power. As soon as I move the cable over to my Powerboost 1000c (or try to run off the battery) then the Act LED flashes twice then fades on the third attempt. The screen also flashes and my Powerboost very briefly lights the "low" LED. If I move back to regular USB power, it works fine again.
I've gone back and checked my soldering because I'm aware of my skill level there. My multimeter is on the fritz, so I can't check it that way. At this point, I'm thinking of just configuring it to have access to the USB port and be done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Here's a pic of the wiring and 2 GIFs of it working, then not when I switch over. https://imgur.com/gallery/wS94Y
