Lower Voltage Servo And My Battery Is Low Message

Hopefully this is an easy one :-)

I have a 4.5 to 6 servo I'd like to power via EZ. I'd like to reduce the servo's voltage by splicing in a regulator (see below) between the EZ so I can bring the EZ to full load.

Anyone see a problem with this?

Thanks,

You will, because the meanwell's output is less than 6.6V ... So go to the Connection Control settings in ARC and uncheck the 6.6v battery warning on your ezb... This warning is set just in case you are using Lipo batteries... This is to ensure you don't under volt and damage a lipo battery

Huzzah Richard. That did it. My servo is working great. Much appreciated. Also, the power supply has eliminated several voltage converters. :D
