I have been using the BUCK regulators. They have been a little flakey. What regulators have each of you used with success on the larger arms like the Lexi? I checked the Buck Regulators and they are rated at 2A. I was running the 12.6v-13v to ONE regulator and to the H-Bridge, then to the ServoPowerBoard, then to the Servo. i am also powering the two EZBs from the 7.2v Regulator. Now, am I understanding right? this ALL has to be done One Regulator for ONE servo? This is going to be a Mess.
Thanks,

@mel,
The EZ-B runs on anything from 5v to around 17v, why were you running regulators on a 12v supply for them?
Also, why are you charging three batteries at the same time in parallel? Three batteries should be charged on three chargers to avoid any complications if one (or more) fail to charge, charge slower etc.
I have noticed you seem to over complicate things, rush in and end up having problems or not fully understanding. Slow down a little and learn the theory before rushing in, I guarantee you will find it all so much clearer and easier that way.
If you look at this old schematic of Melvin (since been changed a lot) you will see that the regulated supply doesn't go to the EZ-Bs at all since the batteries voltage is perfectly fine for the EZ-B.
Thank You Rich. I do have that problem.
