Re: VEX controller

We've used a voltage regulator to run the Vex controller from the 12v battery...I think we used a 7808 (8 volt) regulator, worked fine. Mounted on a heat sink.

The controller has a LM2940CS-5.0 (5 volt) regulator inside it, so it might get a bit warm if you run it from the 12v supply.
