Hi all,

Just thought I could add something to this discussion.

The Wotty has a 1 amp regulator powering the 5 Volt rail. The Wotty uses about 300 mA of this for itself which leaves about 700mA for extras. However, the heatsink on the 5 volt regulator is small so if you draw more than about 200ma it will overheat and shut down the Wotty and stay that way until it has cooled down.
If you are experiencing cut outs of less than 20 seconds then its not the internal BEC in the Wotty. The thermal time constant means itll shut down for at least this long.

So I guess Ill have to announce the new line of Wotty extras. The Wotty Interface Controller (WIC)
These are about £35 and are custom made to order, Just let me know what you require and Ill program the PIC to your needs.

All the very best,

Ian Watts
