We are using a 3 axis AlexMos board for a dual pilot quadcopter (pilot+camera) brushless gimbal and will be using a Spektrum AR8000 receiver for Gimbal pitch and yaw control. The question at hand is how to best power the AR8000. The board has a solder bridge labelled L1 between the 5V line on the servo inputs and the 5V regulator on the board (see image).
The regulator supplies .5amps of current according to the datasheet for it, does anyone know if the AlexMos board and AR8000 combination would require more power than that?
