Eiechip Power Cable with Switch ON/Off Button Micro USB Charging Cable for Banana PI Raspberry Pi 2 Power Cable with Switch

so here are three simple ways to power your next PI project so whether or not we're talking the Raspberry Pi one the Raspberry Pi 2 the raspberry pi 3 or other variants such as the banana pie even the rose apple pie there are typically three different ways to give power to your project the most obvious way the microUSB cable your micro USB cable plug in and you have five volts going to your Raspberry Pi the only thing to note there is that the cable that you're using as I've demonstrated in previous videos if you take a look at the Raspberry Pi three official power supply and a typical micro USB cable the power the size of the cable that's able to carry that power to your PI project does differ with the Raspberry Pi one probably not a big issue of standard USB cables probably okay it did become a little bit more critical with the Raspberry Pi too because of additional power requirements
