USB Powering Raspberry Pi 3 ?

[digi999]

Hi All

Just wondered if any of the tech guru's onsite knew of the power output of the H2S USB ports ? , I've ordered a raspberry pi 3 to start tinkering with Linux and although it comes with a standard 2.5v micro usb plug adapter I've been reading how people run these from there (admittedly high spec) TV USB sockets

I understand I'm limited by just 1 USB socket on the H2S so was planning to plug in a USB double adapter (again using my very basic knowledge of USB volts I presume this halves the voltage ?)

many thanks :)

I would use a powered usb hub

The Pi 3 needs a 2.5 amp power supply which is more than the previous versions so I would doubt that you could power it from the Zgemma.
