Hi,
I have my Galileo powered via the 5V wall adapter. The jumper on the 5V-VIN pins is set (default).
I know the 5V and 3.3V pins can only draw 800mA of current.
A couple of questions:
- Is the VIN pin drawing power directly from the 5V wall adapter? (Recall - my 5V-VIN pin is set)
- If I want to power a servo, can I power it via the VIN pin (ie treat it like a VOUT pin)? Or do you suggest only drawing power from the 5V (limited to 800mA)?
- If (1) == true, is the VIN pin current draw limited by what the wall adapter can handle (on my adapter it says 5V 2A)? Or is there another limitation?
- If (1) == false, what is the max current draw for the VIN pin?
- If I can do (2), does current draw from the VIN pin affect the max current draw from 5V / 3.3V?
Thanks!
Jack
