| 5V_EN | Jumper to enable +5V power to the board via 5V regulator from VMS supply |
|---|
If you install jumper “5V_EN” the board can generate +5V from the VMS (motor) supply using an onboard regulator but only if that VMS supply is less than 16V. That +5V can be used to power an attached Arduino etc via the pin header. Otherwise (eg VMS >16V, too high for regulator), the board needs an external +5V supply as well as the VMS supply.
