      Hi, I've come across the Powerblockling and think it will be really useful for my arcade machine project. I have a raspberry pi 2 with a hifiberry dac+ hat installed. Is there a way to use the powerblockingling together with the hifiberry? The hifiberry hat seems to have replicator pin holes?

        @Matt_B50 I am sorry, but I have never tried to combine those two HATs, so I do know that for sure. However, according to https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/hardware/gpio-usage-of-hifiberry-boards/ the Hifiberry uses GPIO 3, which would also be used by the PowerBlockling. So, it seems as if it would not work out of the box.

          Thanks, I thought that might be the case. Bit of a shame cos I really like the hifiberry dac so don't want to lose that. Looks like hifieberry were doing something with this to, but it looks like they've not release their power controller. https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/power-controller/
