I just want to get confirmation, does the line: "Dedicated Power Supply - Can go down to 3.3V!" mean that we won't suffer from sensor brown out at 6v?
The 5V line powering your DIO gets boosted to 5V. This is particularly helpful for not losing counts from relative sensors (optical encoders / hall effect / etc) in low power conditions. This will not, however, prevent your motor controllers from browning. It just makes sure you can always measure your system.
