Power

Can you tell me how much power is outputed per each place to plug the servos in?  It appears to me that most servos are wither 4.8 or 6 volts and I guess I was wondering if either one could be used with the BOC.

4.8-6VDC servos should work with BoC, the power supply to BoC is 5VDC.

If you are using servos with a particularly high current drain or a nigh number of servos then its recommend that you a separate power supply to power the servos.

When using a secondary power supply you need to connect the 0VDC of the secondary power supply to the BoC 0VDC to ensure that the system works correctly

I am also wondering what you believe are the longest leads you can put from the BOC to the servos themselves?

I was thinking that I would like to have the BOC run servos in a couple of different props that may be several feet apart. I was figuring that I could also possibly power the BOC with a PC power supply for plenty of power. Does any of this sound reasonable?
