I have read the ArduStation build instructions and the description on the store. I understand I CAN power it with a 2 or 3 cell LIPO battery. Can I get a standard voltage requirement for this unit? I would like to be able to power it using a standard 12v regulated power supply.
I know a 3 cell Lipo is 11.1 volts does that mean 12 volts is too much?
I'm placing the ArduStation in a box, with other components that will use the 12 volts. I'm hoping to not have to add an additional power supply just for the ArduStation. It would be a shame to have to build a voltage regulator just to go from 12v to 11.1v, but I can do it, just need to know BEFORE I connect 12v regulated voltage and blow the board.

That way all you need to power the ardustation is the 9v battery.
