I wonder why they designed it with a 5V regulator, when they knew we would be connecting to our RC anyway...

Re: Help with the IR board

They give you the option of connecting to a 7.2-12 volt source with regulator or to a 5 volt source without the regulator. Your choice depending on application with the RC (Backup battery) or a custom circuit using a local 5 volt supply. Crafty devils these designers!
