Ok so in preparation for my V4 coming i'm buying last minute things. one thing that's needed is a way to convert the voltage from the board to 5 volts for sensors. This is what a came up with. Yes or no?
If I missed something let me know.
I don't mind this DC Converter....

It's a cheap one and I believe it only truly has buck capability (no boost). It's small and gets the job done. It may take a little tinkering to get the trimpots adjusted correctly since there's no instructions. One trimpot sets the voltage and the other sets the current limit, from what I can tell. I got a couple of these and they seem to work fine.
Here is one I saw on eBay that says it can handle up to 12A. {Disclaimer: I never used this seller or this product.}
DC-DC Adjustable Voltage CC CV Buck Converter 7-32V to 0.8-28V 12A 300W
Here is one I'm looking into for higher voltage servos.
