See title. I’m thinking of picking this up to power a pair of speakers but am currently powering my Pi using the GPIO pins. If I install this, will I no longer be able to power the Pi that way? Will I have to use the MicroUSB?

Do you think I could simply solder to the other 5V, 3V, Ground pins for power? Will that power both the audio board and pi? Seems like there are traces between them?

Oh yeah, that would be perfectly fine. It would power both the pi and audio board according to this schematic.
Thanks I think I’ll do that
