Hi ! I have IOIO board where the VREG is damaged, so it cannot be powered normally (5-15V through VREG). As Ytai suggested it can be powered directly through 5V pin. If I have 7.4V Lipo battery, is it ok to connect it to this 5V pin using appropriate resistor to cut the voltage down to 5V ? If I connect a LED to some digital output (3.3V) should I use a resistor to protect the LED (I noticed that the LEDs may be damaged shortly after use) ? Also I have noticed that (when the VREG was OK) standard servos could not be powered from the 5V pin through VREG, this will damage the VREG ! The servos must be powered externally from 7.4V Lipo. I think that the 3 and 5V pin cannot be used anything except for powering LEDs, I have a relay (control 5V 85mA) how this should be powered and connected, not to damage the IOIO board ? What about ESC (speed controller) powering ?
Currently I have one working IOIO, one with VREG off, and one totally down ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ioio-users" group.
