And for other projects, you’ll want to get power through the GPIO. That said… Think Twice Before Using the GPIO to Power the Pi Before you rush to input 5 V over the GPIO pin, remember that when you do this you’re bypassing the hardware’s input fuse. That fuse is there to protect your hardware in case of malice or stupidity. For example, imagine that you think you’re passing 5 V, but you’re actually passing more than that into the Raspberry Pi via the GPIO. That might be because you weren’t entirely clear on what you were doing, or it could just be an accident.

To avoid this, you can plug the USB hub’s power supply and the power supply for your Raspberry Pi into the same power strip, then use the switch on the power strip to power them on simultaneously. The Pi Hut sells a seven-port USB hub designed specifically to be ideal for the Raspberry Pi. It avoids the need for careful power-on ordering, because it will never feed any power back over the interconnect cable. Sadly, however, it has only a 2 A power supply, which means you can have high-power devices (using five unit loads) on only three ports at once, with the leftover power going to the hub.

But then how do you find out what the IP address is? This is where Pidora’s headless mode comes through for you! CHAPTER 1: CONFIGURATION HACKS 31 Once you boot the Raspberry Pi with this headless file, the IP address will first flash through the speakers two minutes after powering on. Thirty seconds later, it will flash the IP address through the green OK/ACT LED. These functions are provided through ip-info, a package that contains the aptly named ip-read and ip-flash. , three short flashes is a 3).
