Re: ANNOUNCING: navX MXP Robotics Navigation Sensor
Seems like the USB port is a good option to provide backup power to the navX board.

Can you ask Andymark to stock USB to Stranded cables so that we can wire it to the 5v 500 mA port of the VRM?

The VRM is supposed to be able to supply stable power with battery voltage down to 5V. Is the navX board protected from reverse voltage on the USB Port? If not, it would be nice if you could do that in a future release.

Thanks.
