Hi, (I am a new poster, but long time reader.)
Could anyone comment on the idea of powering a rc receiver via usb. I would be also powering the autopilot (AMP1) with a separate usb line. (I have the older AMP1 which does not power the receiver when just using usb power). Good idea, bad idea? Why?
Reason: I would be able to power nearly the entire system (not motors) via usb alone.
Thanks in advance
Jesse

lookup the 2560 power hack. It shows you how to modify APM1 to power your Radio over USB power.

The ENERGIZER XPAL 5v power pack have 2 USB output (1amp and .5 amp).
The capacity is 1500mha.
I have been using 4 units for 6 months with nothing negative about it
Hope this can help.
