Bobcat 6V power supply

The servo will be a little slower and have a little less torque than it would at 6v, but if you have a smartstring hub nearby you can kill two birds with one power supply...

Just be aware that a lot of modern PC power supplies generate the 5v from the 12v power rail, so the current you draw on the 5v circuit will count against the total amps available on the 12v circuit.

Thanks Robert,

I have a couple of 6 vDC wall warts that I have been keeping an eye on and they seem to be staying steady at 6 volts.  I only intend to drive a couple of mouths on my skulls with the others so the 5 volts ought to do just fine.  Will also use a one separate from my Smart String Hub.

Appreciate your reply - Take care,
