Re: PC Controlled Robot
Normally using the picoPSU-120 should not be a problem unless your choice of motherboard is very power demanding. Also consider your storage media, memory and video card: these can draw a lot power causing you PC board not to boot.

Another possible problem is startup and shut down, the computer need adequate time to perform these functions else you risk software corruption and hardware failure.

This site has a variety of 12v DC-DC power supply up to 250W
