Re: Powering the IR board

I just tapped off the main 12v breaker panel for the IR board on the robot. the PWM, analogue, or digital connectors could also probably provide the required ammount of power, and if that IR board draws anywhere near 500mA, it will probably do something requiring you to replace it, if you get my meaning. havent tried it, but the more I think about it the more I think there should be plenty of power on the PWM, analogue, or digital connectors and if there isn't, in all likelihood you have bigger problems to worry about, like finding a new IR board.
