Hi,

I'm working on a project in which I use the handy-board to steer a servo. I
noticed that the voltage regulator on my handy-board gets rather hot. You
actually burn your fingers on it...
So I wondered how much current I can draw from it, without blowing the
thing!
One more detail could be relevant: the servo is corrected continuously by
the board.. so it's virtually never in rest.

Someone who has more experience/info??
Should I use a seperate power supply??

Greets,

Bastiaan
