Re: Vision Processing Lights

I can't think of a reason why powering LEDs from the 12V 500mA VRM output would be a problem.

The pair of concentric ring lights on the TechnoKats' robot are powered from one output of the Pneumatic Control Module. We measured the current draw at less than 120 milliamps.
