Re: Backup Battery life and the CMUCam
OK, help me clarify what's going on then....

I'm not using servos on the CMUCam board, or the RC itself. In fact we didn't have any servos..

But are you saying that the +V pin on a PWM output is the unregulated 7.2backup supply?

I thought that these were +5v pins (but never actually mesured one).

So.. is there an output from the RC that does send out regulated +5V that can be used by the CMUCam? Is there a Schematic anywhere that shows the power circuit?
