I need to provide external power for the servos as I'm using a lot of them. Can any one suggest any voltage regulator for the external supply of voltage and how do I connect them to the servos. Does anyone have some images of the wiring that would guide me...
Which voltage regulators shall provide the juice for the servos? I have four servos in each arm of the robot. Shall I use one voltage regulator for each arm?
Ok Josh, It's the worst case scenario...


I have to bypass the voltage.. Now where would the output of LM1084 go and where would the output of MIC29300 go?
Josh, What is the ground and power on the IC socket? I mean where should I connect them on board? Where should I connect them to the microcontroller?
That's a great question , let me see if I can find the pin out for the pic and go from there.
Hey Josh, I found these pins on board... 5v, Gnd and Vin... Does that mean that the common ground would go there, the 5v i.e. the power for servos would go to the 5v and the input for microcontroller would go to the Vin?
I'm not sure if that would bypass the damaged etching. I would probably run a power and ground to the two spots under the board that you test on. The ones directly underneath the Chip , I believe those are past the damaged etching , try applying power there and see if your electronics light up.
Josh.... Finally....... It's working... Thanks a lot for your support... I soldered the Vin directly beneath the board and the +5V and Gnd to the pins i mentioned in the picture... It's finally working.. It wouldn't be possible without your help... I'm wholeheartedly thankfl to you Josh... Finally we did it...


I really tortured that board all these days.. Now I understand the value of it... I gotta take care of it from now...
Yay ! I'm glad we found the problem and found a work around to repair your EZB , I'm seriously glad because I want to see that foamboard robot you made start moving around .
. Thankyou for your patience I just wanted to get you taken care of. Goodluck with Foambot 2000 ! - Josh
