This project is currently on hold while I work with tech support people for my 3D printer
But a little back story.
I have 2 of those screens and I was getting random "won't generate an image" on both screens and both the Pi 5's I was connecting them to.
I had also bought and installed the official Raspberry nvme hats to boot off of.
So composed of the following
2X Pi 5
2X Pi 5 M.2 Hat+
2X Raspberry Pi 5 Active Coolers
2x 7" Official Pi screens
2X Identical ribbon cables from screen control board to Pi 5
2X 45W Pi (Canakit) power supplies
I hat had a 2230 sized WD BLACK SN770M 1TB SSD
other hat was a 2230 sized 512 GB SSD from Inland
Clean install 64 bit Pi OS on each
When I initially got into this, I had pre-installed the hats with SSD onto each Pi and connected the Pi to the Hat via the stubby ribbon cable they come with.
I was getting power supply alerts on the VNC desktop occasionally. There was just a muddled up random problems with the setup to the point I sort of backed up and punted.
Removed the Hats, did a new fresh 64 bit Pi OS install of each Pi to 7"screen with the 45w power supplies and both screens are on and everything seems fine.
Not sure what will happen when I reintroduce the M.2 hat and power them back up
Side question. Does anyone sell even a marginally longer PCIe cable? These 30mm cables are a major pain to connect when you have the needed stand-offs so Hat clears the cooler. A 40mm would be great.
Side question 2 - I want to have a discrete On/Off switch for each Pi. The button on the Pi itself will be inaccessible. I have bought a couple of different style switches but you know, once you start buying off of Amazon the quality of what you are buying becomes a total crap shoot. Any recommended On/Off switches?
This will sound off the wall but can these Pi official powers supplies communicate with the Pi or flip-flop can the Pi 5 communicate with the power supply to limit current flow?
