10A On Ez-B

Skip to comments   Jump To End

I got the voltage regulators 1084-5.0 now. As this voltage regulator supplies the power only to the 5V and doesn't reach the microcontroller, is is okay if I use two of them in parallel to get 10A output on EZ-B to drive all the servos, this way I can avoid external power supply to the servos... Can the etching of the EZ-B take 10A?


ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

Harnessing the power of ARC Pro, your robot can be more than just a simple automated machine.

dont know the answer to that but I think you will find the answer is no. Even if you find the boads tracing will handle it you also need to considder the header pins, connectors and wire suppling power to the motors.

No you cannot connect voltage regulators in parallel. The will not balance the workload. And that will cause unbalanced heat dissipation. The ideal suggesting is too have the vr handle half the servos, and the other vr handle the rest.

Thanks a lot @DJ for that valuable suggestion. I would go according to it... Can I know more about these unbalanced heat dissipation issues... Just for knowing the subject better...
