PSU and SD card for power supply for model b raspberry pi

Sun Jan 13, 2013 1:50 pm

Hi all
I just got my model b raspberry pi. Now I have two doubts.
1. Can I use the IPAD2 power adapter as the power source of the PI. The output rated Voltage is 5.1V, output capacity is 2.1A.

2. Does PI support SDHC card?

Thanks.

Yes and Yes.

Make sure that you use a good quality USB A to MicroUSB cable if you are powering the RPi through the MicroUSB port. Many cheap cables are fakes and have very high resistance causing a large Voltage drop and consequent problems.
