I've posted similar threads about this problem, but I feel like I am close to the solution.
I have a Pololu 9V Step Up Regulator. It's specced at 1.4A maximum input current. I am supplying it with a 5.2VDC 8A power supply. The boost converter is in parallel with servo motors (2A), an Arduino Mega (70mA) and a custom circuit (40mA). The 9VDC the Pololu circuit produces us going to a 5V regulator powering an SSC32 (30mA)
My question is, do I need to be concerned with the 1.4 maximum input current? Is so, how do I limit it?
