Re: Wiring the IR Receiver
I see that we could power it via a fuse block, however, I am trying to do everything through the two PWM cables to help avoid the rat's nest of wire that we commonly have around the RC.

I am just questioning if anyone sees an issue supplying the sensor 5 Volts instead of the 7 - 15 which is recommended. Also, I've noticed that there is a 5 Volt Regulator on the board, so this leads me to further believe that 5 Volts is an acceptable supply voltage for the sensor.
