5V for arduino
Hi, if I'm using 2 encoders with roboclaw where should I take the 5V for powering an arduino?

Re: 5V for arduino
You can take 5v from any of the 5v pins. All signal pins have a matching 5v pin and GND pin next to them.

... and all of the pins provide up to 3A together?

Re: 5V for arduino
Combined, the total current from the 5v BEC on the 2x30A is 3amps. If you plan on pulling that much from a single device I would recommend using multiple 5v pins. For 1amp or less a single pin should be sufficient.
