Supercaps On 3.3V Rail, Preventing Ezb To Connect?

@Jeremie I hate to bring this topic up again, ( its been about a year ) Back last year I put two SuperCap rated 1.5f @ 5v in series ( 1.5f 10v ) on EZB's input Servo power ( 6v Battery ) to prevent brownouts and its been very successful, and worked well. ( Stopped brownouts ). But since converting some of InMoov's large scale HS-805BB servo's over...

Laptop Recommendation?

I'd like to put all my robotics on a dedicated laptop. I don't think I need a cutting-edge machine, but I feel I need something with a good processor to handle multitasking. I'd prefer something with a 10" -13" screen (my other machines are 17" monsters), Windows 10 upgradable (if it doesn't come installed), a nice large hard drive...

Before I replace it I just wanted to fine out why and/or if I should also...
