would it be safe to plug in a raspberry pi to this via usb to micro usb cable? It requires 5V 1A.

I just confirmed that the Plugable USB 2.0.4 will power an RPi unit directly. The RPi only draws 5W, so it's safe.

Sure, as long as your USB supplies 5V power, which most USB do, it is worth a try, as its only taking power, it wont work if there is no power, and there wont be any damages which I encountered, though you try at your risk.

I think 5V, 1A is low. The supplied adapter has 24 W and the output is 5V, 2A. Maybe the device will be recharged with 5V 1A, but much more slowly

Probably but I'm not sure. I use mine to power a Raspberry Pi device and it works for that.

I use it to power the Pi 2, wifi dongle, external HD (an older power-hungry model), and card reader. Never had a problem so far. See one of the pics at the top of the page for the configuration.

I grabbed an old mouse, cut the cable, and then stripped the red (+5v) and black (gnd/-) and soldered those into the power vias on the board (the holes on the circuit board).This chip is rated for a MAX of 5.5 volts, so DON'T try to run it from four AA or AAA batteries, you will fry it. However, the USB 5volts works just fine. Mine has been running for what, about a month now, and going strong.

The device will work (albeit give less cooling) with 6V, but it will draw too much current (roughly 5 amps!) to be powered from a usb supply.

Your raspberry pi will need a separate power supply from this monitor. I found avideo that showed them using a 9 V direct power supply and that seems to do the trick for me.

I have two of these boards. For the first I used a 1A transformer with a rectifier and put it all in a box. For the second I used this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00452YFZU/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1Don't forget that you need a mini USB cord. Have fun.

Yes. 11.1v source is too high for 7.4v use. It's okay to go higher mAh for longer use or a li'l more power but higher voltage will fry device.

You should keep it to 5v so as to avoid burning it out. I do not know if you are using it with an Arduino or not, but the Arduino Mega 2560 can power it via its 5v and gnd connections.

I'm not sure, as I only have a USB 2.0 hub... I dont see why not. Still 5 volts I believe and receiving I.R. Is probably low voltage. G.L.

It worked for my Raspberry Pi out of the box with a three foot video cable and a 12-volt 1.25 Amp "wall-wart" power supply. There was nothing plugged into the HDMI connector, just the yellow video jack leading to the LCD monitor.

A simple answer, no. Sorry, but if your savvy you can tap off an acceptable lower voltage and run the device perfectly fine.Just my opinion.

it's need power supply all time.. the Voltage is major than USB can support

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Thanks. I want to power a wireless charging pad. Will check to see if 1amp is enough for the ravpower pad I have
