Revision history [back]

We use a Yanec external battery (6 Ah) with 5V and 12V (it has also a third outlet) for simultaneously powering the Hokuyo and the Kinect. We have soldered the proper connectors to each device to prevent inadvertently connecting the Hokuyo to something else then 5V (a mistake will cost you many $$$).
