Minipod built-in +5V Regulated output

[karthiks]

Hello,
We are using the Minipod and are trying to plug in a sonar onto it. The issue is regarding powering the Sonars. We have previously used the same set of sonars on a Servopod. (In Servopod we designed a wire harness that drew the required voltage from the CPUs PW80 power supply unit)
The Sonar needs a +5V regulated input and we would like to know if there is any built-in voltage regulator output pin in Minipod that provides this volatage output.
Thanks in advance

Yes, by the schematic at http://www.newmicros.com/store/product_schematics_pdf/minpod.pdf it shows that J1 pin 1 and J9 pin 2 are both +5, taken from the output of the 5 volt regulator on the MinPod.
