Hi all,
I've come up with the attached circuit to power my Pi / Arduino combo. I'm wondering if this will work or if it will blow one or the other due to some silly mistake?
I'm not great at electronics or circuits, just beginning so in words -
9.6v battery positive branches to a 5v BEC and a barrel jack. 5v BEC feeds a usb port which returns ground to BEC. Ground runs from BEC to negative of battery, joining ground running back from arduino barrel jack.
I have a feeling that sharing the ground here could cause huge problems without protection but that's why I'm asking you guys
Thanks in advance
