Aloha. I have just purchased the Raspberry PI 7 inch touch screen for my Tinkerboard. The YouTube videos suggest to power the unit by the usb-mini connector on the video board, then run jumpers from the video board to power the Tinkerboard via pins on the Tinkerboard's 40 pin connector. I would prefer to power each board separately. I want to power the video board through it's usb-mini connector and to power the Tinkerboard through it's usb-mini connector, each with it's own power supply. Is this acceptable? Mahalo.
