**MMM v3 BEC questions -** 10.30.2008, 12:43 PM

So, a switching PSU for BEC is, basically, the reason I got the MMM. I want off the shelf ease and minimal components, and MMM gives me power for brains and for mechanics in one nice package.

The BEC appears to run at 5.84v which is damn near perfect for my needs

and well within the range I can use for my robo-brain (Basically 5.5v to 9v with anything over 5.5v being spent in heat.)

My questions are:
1. Will voltage ever be programmable like the CC dedicated BEC?
2. What available amperages will the BEC provide at 8, 12, and 24 volts (or approximate voltages.)

My brains will use about 1a.

Picture of brains on slash, which is the PERFECT platform for junior robotics. It's the FIRST RC truck that has space for stuff so we can build OUT instead of UP (which makes most RC robots tippy.)

Not to mention, the slash is tough enough to survive going full speed during a stuck control loop!

I'm so happy with the slash.
