Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to hook-up the Handy Board, an R/C car chassis, and a wireless camera
together, and here's what I was planning to do about the power...

| +-----------------------------+ |
+---------------------------------+
1 - Is the whole thing correct, from an EE stand point ?
2 - Is there a problem in having a battery with far more Amps than necessary?
3 - Could a battery with high Amperage "push" too much current ?
4 - Could the R/C DC motors draw too much current and "harm " the HB ?
5 - What kind of dynamo/combustion motor (r/c) size, combination would be
necessary to feed a 12v in/out battery recharger (with auto trickle charge)?
Thank you in advance,
Andre Philippi.

| The main problem I see is with how you label the voltages at various points in the circuit. If you have a 12 V battery, the low voltage end is usually called zero volts and the high voltage end is called +12 volts (although the numbers are just (...)
