That will work... I myself just spliced some basic LM7805 regs into some servo extension wires "as a simple plug and play" sort of solution... This way I don't need to run multiple wiring to the battery... Where mine regulates power directly from the EZB power pin(s) themselves.

Thanks for the info! I might just have to buy some.

@Richard, did you add in any capacitors or was it just the regulator you cut in to the wires?

@Techno, that will work but you may need more than one regulator depending on the max current.

Just an FYI, I've been playing with a regulator board I knocked up about a year ago however halted as I thought EZ-Robot was releasing their own, better, regulator. If there is a demand for it I'll happily post my notes. I can't guarantee it'll work as I haven't built a prototype yet but it's a starter at least. Let me know if it'll be of interest to anyone.

That will definitely work but may be inefficient. That regulator may get warm, essentially wasting battery power. Again however it will work I will be in the same boat soon also.

@Rich.... there is a picture of it in this thread link Just the LM7805s.. no caps....

Must have missed that when scanning over it...

To be honest I'm not 100% sure what the caps are for, I assume to keep the voltage nice and stable, all I do know is that every LDO regulator circuit I have seen has caps in it.

Well, i'll let know how well it works as soon as I am able to test it with the V4...The LM7805's data sheet claims it to have a very stable 5v output with a very low dropout voltage... Anyway, I'll let you guys know as soon as I can...

If the 12-5V converter is isolated, you'll also have to connect the EZ-B ground to the sensor's ground.
