Thanks for the information.
I swear by these 3.5 Amp power supplies. It was a stupid idea for all these SBC innovators to use micro-USB and USB OTG for power since so many people unknowingly use weak phone chargers and questionable power supplies that claim "2 Amp" and wonder why their kits don't work.
The Orange Pi folks had the right idea. Their SBCs only use barrel connectors to reduce the chance of people using lame power supplies that cause undervoltage/undercurrent conditions that cause SDCard corruption and weird network problems (which my one-year-old original Kickstarter PINE A64+ has never experienced, nor have my many Orange Pis and Raspberry Pis with many fans and peripherals attached to them).
Thanks again.
