Direct powering of RXB6 possible?
Posted: 26 Apr 2018, 04:54
Hello,
thanks for this great RFLink project!
I try to do the best to improve the RF reception of the RXB6. As a general experience with RF receivers I try to isolate the power supply of RF components from computers as much as possible. A very easy and cheap way is to use a seperate power supply. So I would use an additional voltage controller for the RX8B.
In the reference schematics the RXB6 is powered by using MEGA's tx2/Pin 16 ["Pin 5 = MEGA tx2/Pin 16 (RX VCC)"].
Does this pin (MEGA's tx2/Pin 16) deliver a static output or is it switched in this application?
If it would be switched I could connect the RX8B Pin5 to a different power supply.
Thanks in advance!
