Actually this is for the smaller vacuum bot , not.the omnibot 2000 , I really should name these guys...

oh.i see the head of it now,one with the dome top ,omnibot
i have 2 of them at home,also hope you are adding fuses to it

Josh,

Two questions probably simple answers :-

Why the dc - dc converter can't the EZ-B run on 12volts ? For the Cam why don't you run the power from the EZ-B ?

I think I know the answers to these questions but I'm still learning so thought I'd ask.

Regards

algeraist you need 7.5 volts any higher the regulator gets very hot,you should be able to run it from EZB only noise might be a problem,i takes very little current to drive it

dc-dc converters are very good to get rid of noise,but low drop out regulators are better,but need a filter,i design dc-dc converters at work

aslo whats bad about its very important you watch the discharge level of the battery you are using ,if you go too low ow of voltage using a dc-dc converter,when you try to charge it ,it will go bad so very important to have a voltage monitor ,witch is mostlt a zener diode,and a voltage devider hook up to analog port,or a simple voltage comparator to digital port can buy them but will cost you 3 to 4 times mores ,parts are under $2
