First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, please feel free to move if needed.
I've been having a lot of fun with Arduino's and will eventually post some pictures of the fun projects I've built. I however have run into a small problem and I'm not sure if it's clear in the eagle files or not.
I would love to use the built in battery charging feature of the funnel IO, and it's remote programing is perfect for my little rover. The downside is that from the schematic and looking at the board, I can't see a good point where I can get high amperage raw 3.3 volt power from an existing pin.
Looking at the schematic, power goes straight from VBATT, through a fuse, into the switch and then into a voltage regulator? (If that is what V2 is)
So my favor to ask, is anyone able to see a good tapping point on the eagle files that would allow me to get power straight from the battery without having to solder onto the side of one of the small components? I'm not too worried about doing that, but wanted to avoid it if I could.
I know I can feed power straight from the battery into my motor driver circuit, then from the power bus into the Funnel IO, but that seems a little "hackish" of a solution.
I've been trolling for some time on these forums and want to extend a big thanks to everyone for sharing such great information. The Arduino community is exactly what I needed to get back into micro controllers.
Thanks,
