Would this work? Portable Raspberry Pi B+

Post by Vevilo »

Hi, I am new to all this stuff, so I am asking whether or not this would work. I am going to try to make a portable Raspberry Pi and I am just wondering if I will have all the right components. Please note: I don't want to do any soldering or handy work, I am just hoping I can plug in cords and it will work. So without further ado, here is what I am going to do.

Parts List:
-Raspberry Pi Model B+

-USB Cable - A/MicroB ($4)
-HDMI Cable - 1 Meter ($5)
-USB Battery pack for Raspberry Pi - 10000mAh - 2 x 5V @ 2A ($50)
-5" Display (no Touch) w/Mini Driver - 800x480 HDMI ($60)

I'm going to power the Raspberry Pi with the battery pack and the A/MicroB USB Cable. Then I'm gonna plug the screen into the Raspberry Pi with the HDMI Cable. Now I have a problem with powering the Screen at the moment because I don't know what USB cable that uses or if it uses one at all. If anyone knows could you please tell me. If it does use one then I will plug it into the battery pack as well. I'm not sure if this would work, so if it doesn't or I need different parts I would like the help. Thanks.

You're referring to the ID# 1928 display, correct?

That display comes with a USB power cable, as shown in this picture

So you can plug both the display and the Pi into the 10,000mAh battery, since it has two ports.
