I would like to separate the Apollo BTC full node into a standard node and an Orange Pi.
Yes, you just need an appropriate 5V, 15W USB power brick and a USB-C cable.
Excellent, thank you very much!
I suppose this also means that I don't need a separate enclosure for the Orange Pi. It could stay in the Apollo (with the white connector unplugged).
Or am I missing some risk of creating a ground loop that will fry something?
Could I safely power the O-Pi via USB-C from the same laptop that runs the software for the "Standardized' Apollo part, and program the O-Pi through the same USB-C connection?
Or do I need a dedicated power source separate from my laptop?
