Re: [ts-7000] Re: USB crashes board when running on batteries??? and servos?

I have not used servo but I did use Stepper, the amount of battery was doulbe of what you are using, but you must check the power comsumption of the total board and get the right amount of batteries but 16 is a good number...

I got a cheap 5V regulator at Radio Shack, and I'm using 8
rechargable AA batteries for the power. It's not too fancy.
I soldered in a switch so I can turn it on and off.

in the USB.
Do I need to go to some fancier battery component and regulator?

Thank you.
