See title. I’m thinking of picking this up to power a pair of speakers but am currently powering my Pi using the GPIO pins. If I install this, will I no longer be able to power the Pi that way? Will I have to use the MicroUSB?

      Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don’t have a choice. It comes pre-soldered according to the description. There does seem to be other power and ground pins on the board according to the schematic. I’ll try using those

      Yep, I saw that eventually and on the schematic there are traces connecting them to the correct gpio pins on the pi
