Hi Everyone,
Is is it OK to use this power adapter with a Pi 3.
AdaFruit 5V 1A (1000mA) USB port power supply - UL Listed PRODUCT ID: 501
https://www.adafruit.com/products/501
I see the unit below appears to be the correct one for the Pi3 but it is out of stock. I was wondering is it ok to use the one above instead.
AdaFruit 5V 2A Switching Power Supply w/ USB-A Connector PRODUCT ID: 1994
https://www.adafruit.com/products/501
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Question about power adapter forthe Rasberry Pi 3
Depending on configuration and running conditions, the Pi 3 may required more than 1A. So you might get away with it, but it is not recommended. If you currently have a 1A power supply lying around, I'd say give it a try. But if you are looking to buy a power supply specifically for running a Pi 3, you're better off getting the recommended one (or something equivalent).
