Pi 2 Model B Restarting When 3v3 is used - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi there,

i've started playing (first) new model b.

i've ran through python basics running gpio , have gotten leds light properly.

started trying tests using 3v3 port trying power things motor or linking leds power switch described in video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhfzrn2wcdq

however, whenever connector hits 3v3 port, system reboots color screen , restarts.

if hold button down, restarts doesn't show color screen until release button.

if leave connected motor, it'll keep running long it's connected restart upon initial connection.

result of not having enough power? or separate problem? not have voltage meter since i've gotten universe.

i've tried both low power usb (via computer) via wall socket apple usb charger , asus cable.

in advance community.

looking forward more interesting experiments.

hi , welcome forum.
