Re: Powering the Raspberry Pi
I'd use the 12v-5v converter to power the unit. The converter gives 5A, more than enough to run the Pi. The port on the distribution board gives out 3A, but with the camera on it, you have less than an amp left over. I've been running Pi's for awhile, they want a rock solid 5 volts, and 800ma to do high levels of computation, like video routines.
