Can I get 5V from the nRF51 DK

[Jason De Lorme]

I see 5V pins on the schematic for the new nRF51 development kit. If I power the board via USB, I understand that 5V is regulated down to 3.3V for the chip. Is the source 5V available on P1 or P5? From Figure 8 "Power supply circuitry" it seems that P22 which is meant for current measurement seems like it would be possible to get the 5V from there?

Thank you

You have 5V available on P5 and on P13. You can use that to power other functionality, but if powered through USB, you need to make sure it's not draining more current than USB can deliver. Normally that would be 500 mA for a USB 2.0 hub.

Great, thank you for confirming.
