Vision Processing Lights

We are trying out vision processing this year, and we are using a 12V green LED light ring for targeting. How do we power these lights/what are we supposed to plug them into?

I've seen that you could plug them into the 12V 500mA ports on the VRM, but I wasn't sure if that was ok...

Re: Vision Processing Lights

Yup that would be the one to use. We've got one in each of the two available 12V 500mAH ports.

Re: Vision Processing Lights

I can't think of a reason why powering LEDs from the 12V 500mA VRM output would be a problem.

The pair of concentric ring lights on the TechnoKats' robot are powered from one output of the Pneumatic Control Module. We measured the current draw at less than 120 milliamps.
