Cheap replacement for the Power Distribution Board

Don't forget the 5 volts for the Camera - but you might not need that.

Is there a way to get 24 volts from 12? Yes. Google a "24 volt boost converter". Be sure it meets the specs you need in terms of current capability and voltage stability.

Just remember to be careful, and have someone with a good nose on hand in case you can't see the smoke plume.

The '09 Analog Breakout and the DSC have the same 12->5V regulator in it that the PD does.

I was thinking a 7805 would be easy enough, but that's a better way.

I doubt we will need that on our old robot. But if we do, I'll either use the 5 volts of the digital side car like Eric mentioned, or wire up a linear regulator. I've used linear regulators before for other projects, so I don't worry about how to use them.
