How much power is safe to send through a GPIO pin? I'd imagine you'd want to make use of the Pi's 2 5V pins at that point.

- moffkalast 3y agoI mean theoretically dupont connectors are rated for 2.5 A so two of them could get it done, but the current will never be completely equal across both and one may get overloaded. Maybe the safest option would be to find some kind of barrel-jack-to-usb-c dongle. In practice I doubt it would be a real problem since you'd need to max out both the USB draw and CPU load at the exact same time to get the full draw.
