Connecting screen and fan to GPIO pins at same time

Grover Cleveland All Messages By This Member #11854 I bought a new heatsink with a couple of fans on board to cool my pi in the hot summer at a remote site. I also want to run a 3.5" screen at the same time but this plugs on to the GPIO, covering all the pins. So how do I power? both? K7TP

Mark Griffith #11856 If you're talking about the 3.5 inch display from Adafruit, there is a header under the screen that has power to it. Pins 1 and 4 I think.

David Ranch All Messages By This Member #11857 开云体育 Do you know what GPIO pins the LCD display is using?? If you can find out, you can use something like this to make the non-used GPIO pins available for other uses: ?? --David KI6ZHD On 07/09/2020 12:33 PM, Grover Cleveland via groups.io wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text I bought a new heatsink with a couple of fans on board to cool my pi in the hot summer at a remote site.

N5XMT All Messages By This Member #11874 Does the 3.5" display GPIO connector have the holes open all the way thru, or are they dead ended so nothing could stick out the top? If they are thru hole, just get a 40 pin stacking header.? Plugs onto the Pi GPIO pins and the leads sticking up are long enough to go thru the board on top.? They are used for stacking multiple hats on one Pi. You could also plug the fans into a USB port for 5V as well toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 12:42 PM Lawrence <va7edu@...> wrote: Was pondering that too.?
