touchscreen + cobbler, powering

Tue Apr 19, 2016 7:58 am

Good morning !

I am currently using the RPi with the official DSI Touchscreen, which means that the Pi is powered by the screen through the GPIO.

However I would like to connect the Adafruit Cobbler to a breadboard. Would it be ok to power the RPi through the breadboard ? (meaning that I'd connect the screen's 5V + ground to the breadboard and then the breadboard to the Cobbler)
