For a Roomba application, will the EZB V4 handle the unregulated power input in the same way the EZB V3 could? I saw one discussion where the EZB V4 smoked after trying this.......

*Note: The only ports that have regulated power are for the Camera, i2c and UART #0 Expansion.
The SCI power pins only provide 500 milliamps at 17 volts. Most hardware attached to the EZB(4) like servos will require much more that half an amp, more like 5 or 6 amps. If the Roomba SCI power is used it will trip the Roomba SCI fuse and shutdown the EZB(4)
