Hello!
I just found this thread researching exactly this! Took me a while to find anything, almost gave up, even better to see this is actually working!
Looking at that rather beefy TO-220 regulator and the inductor on the opposite side of the PCB, it might be possible to even power a big Pi from the 5V rail, but I cannot read the markings on the photo to look up a datasheet. I'll check when I wire up my uart pins.
