Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.
I used a DMM to test mine, driven by a weak transformer, and the one on our test machine which is on a 12.7V fresh battery. Both read between 5.93 and 5.97 V.

I believe the center pin is driven by a dedicated supply that limits current to 2.2A. There is not a limit for a given PWM, but for the rail.

The PWM signals from the MXP will need to provide their own power for a servo.

I'm curious to hear what others measure.
