hi

what spacers would i need to mount the PiSound above the X1015 hat?

> **[Geekworm X1015 PCIe to M.2 Key-M NVMe SSD PIP TOP for Raspberry Pi 5](https://geekworm.com/products/x1015)**
>
> Overview The X1015 is a PCIe extension board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5. It adheres to the official Raspberry Pi reference schematic and has the same features as the official M.2 HAT+, so x1015 supports also Hailo AI acceleration...

i’m not quite clear if the X1015 also uses the GPIO for extra power, if it does can the PiSound share the power pin?

Can’t help much with the spacers question but as far as which pins the pisound used for power you can check this article

The power rails can be shared with multiple devices.

For the height of spacers, you could try M2.5 25mm (same as included with Pisound), but with male ↔ female threads. Alternatively, I think the spacers could be a couple of mm shorter. If possible, you may hold off on the spacers until you have the boards and can measure exact distance between the boards once they’re mounted.

Thanks. I will do that. Also, if I choose to go with PiMidi instead of PiSound would I also use 25mm spacers?

Pimidi comes with the male ↔ female extenders of possibly suitable height:

If they end up being too short, then you’d have to source ones to fit your needs.
