Romeo v2 power supply question
gaflurry 2014-01-21 10:50:19 3261 Views2 Replies On the Romeo V2 product description page and wiki (in the Specification section), I find the phrase "DC Output:5V(2A) / 3.3V DC". I am not sure what that means. It could mean that the MP2307 on the board is capable of producing 5V at 2A, or it could mean that up to 2A is available on pins 2 and 5 (5V) and pin 5 (3.3V) of J4 and J5 (see the V2 schematic). This matters to me because I'd like to power a Raspberry Pi from the 5V on J4/5 and it draws 1A or less.
2014-01-23 07:04:48 Yes. I am using the Romeo V2 to control the Rover 5 (I bought the kit with Bluetooth). The Romeo will deal with "low level" motor control and sensor input, e.g., the motor encoder interrupts and crash sensors. The Pi will handle "high level" capabilities like WiFi communication with a home base and other mobile robots, handling route following and mapping of the environment.
I plan, at this point, to use I2C to communicate between the Pi and the Romeo. I would appreciate getting any information you have that might be useful.

Sure, if you have connect with a extra power. MP2307 could provide
*3A Continuous Output Current
*4A Peak Output Current.
Do you want to use the raspberry Pi with arduino?
