BS1 Proj Board -- +5V

· I'm using a BS1 Project Board, in lieu of a BS1-IC (becuse I don't have any of those), in an application here at work.· Is it OK to power the ProjBd via the output connector (bringing in·+5V & GND at VDD & Vss respectively)?· It seems to be working (the LED comes on and it's running.)

· I was just wondering if the output of the ProjBd's buck regulator is OK with that.· Am I harming it?

· It looks like my application is a winner, so when I make more I'll use BS1-ICs.

    I double-checked with our Engineering team and they tell me you're okay to go.

    That's good to know.

    Then I'll place this one out at an intersection and see how well we do.· It's a stop-gap for situations where people drive off of the loop (detection) and into or past the cross-walk, but where using "locking detection" would eat up a lot more time ("max'ing the phase out.")· This will hold a call, if one occurs during Red time,·till the Green turns on.
