Look at the 12V to 5V converter on this page: https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s...w#!prettyPhoto
If you don't have one lying around, there are similar ones on AndyMark and Amazon. |
If you are using the old D-link radio this is fine, but the new open mesh radio is 12v source.
You could use the old radio with no issues if just for practice.
If you wanted to use the new radio, you could buy a boost converter that will give you a constant 12volts once adjusted.
like this one.
