0 What's the spec for voltage on APM2 Posted by john fletcher on May 11, 2012 at 8:00am Hi There,I'm sure I've just missed this, but what are the Min and Max voltages for APM2 boards?I've seen 5V in loads of places. I'd just like to know so that I can provide a suitable voltage.Many thanksJohn Fletcher You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!

Hi again,
Tests on the APM2 I've got show at least that:-
1) The board complete with xbee starts at 4.41V and at 5.63V.
2) At these voltages it will run for at least an hour.
3) The GPS locks and stays that way.
4) That after the hour there is no more drift from the sensors than at 5V exactly.
I'm going to power this board at 5.1V and the servo's at 5.8V!
Thanks anyway.
John Fletcher
