      Hi,

      I have a Controlblock and a Pi 3B for an arcade emulator. As both can be powered, should I power both separately or power one and assume it will power the other?

      Thanks

        @RSquaredPi After looking into this, I can see that I can power the controlblock and the pi will be powered from this. I plan to use a toggle switch. Anything that I may miss?
