Hi,

Thank you for this truly awesome resource you've put together. This isn't exactly an issue to report, but I couldn't see another way of communicating with you. I've been studying your wiring/connection set-up as depicted here: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/blob/master/img/powerbar.jpg.

I have a similar-ish set-up which I wish to implement. Could I just ask - did you power the raspberry pi off the same 5V supply? I have a set-up consisting of a pi 3B (requires its own power), adafruit matrix bonnet (requires its own power), and 6 panels. I would like the user to have just one plug to power the device, as a whole, rather than 3. I'm a little unsure of how to wire up the pi (and the adafruit for that matter) to the power supply (my coding is decent, my electronics not so good :)). Was wondering if you had some pointers?

Thanks in advance

suggest the adafruit forums/discord for this question since it's more of an adafruit bonnet power supply question...
