      Hi Everyone,

      I am not sure if this is the best place to post this since it is not really for support on retro pie but am hoping someone might have an idea.

      I am trying to power a small picade and I do not want cables hanging out. I installed the following feed through, but it does not seem to be working.
      http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Conxall-Switchcraft/DCP-USBCB-F/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMulM8LPOQ%252byk0tOUVtDtVQ0nKHI1Dv0x0iuv%252bnibBZDtw%3D%3D

      I have tested the feed through and cables on my phone, also no working. I tested on a usb battery pack and the battery was showing that it was charging. I don't know why it is not working for the Pi or my phone. Would the feed through be limiting the power supply in some way?

      Does anyone have another idea for putting a feed through on a picade?

          The additional cable after the feed through is 6 inches. The cable before was the charger that came with the Cana kit. But I have tested other charging cables with my phone also
