Re: navX Micro I2C voltage and Roborio

The navX has both 5V and Vcc input voltage pins. The internal power for the navX is apparently 3.3V, based on the labeling of the power LED. While I cannot find this documented anywhere, it appears possible that the navX can be powered using 5V on the 5V pin, or using 3.3V on the Vcc pin. If I were planning to do this, I would join the navX forum and ask the engineers how and if you can power this $100 board using 3.3v.
