Re: Have some questions about an rc controller
Just wanted to thank everyone for this thread. Perfect timing for our team. We have an off-season project to build a simple RC robot. We have an Andymark "Cheap and Dirty" RC control system and I was just trying to figure out how to power it. Glad I read about the 5 volt max here or I might have tried powering everything off 12 volts!

Edit: Oh, I get it. Their "Cheap and Dirty Control System" kit includes two motor controllers that each also provide a separate 6 volt DC output which can be used to power the receiver. Since we only have the base RC kit and we are planning to use Talons or Jaguars or some other old FRC motor controller, we will need to provide our own 5-6 volt supply for the receiver.
