Voltage and current requirements table for power management solution #1
Description
Add a file named PowerManagement.md into DragonHelmet/ directory.
Include the voltage and current requirements of each single component as a table inside PowerManagement.md file. Like this:
| Component | Input Voltage | Max. Load |
|---|---|---|
| DLP® LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM | 5V | 2.6A |
| Standard speaker | 3.3V | 1A |
| MOXA EDS-205 Entry-level Unmanaged Ethernet Switch | 5.V | 2A |
etc... (values inside the table are figurative)

I'm thinking I need to learn a bit more about all these tools you guys are using to work on this thing. The thing I noticed early on in examining your design is that most every component runs at 5V. I think you should restrict that. Can't be that hard to find a few alternatives to the things which are not 5V. Failing that, it shouldn't be that hard to power a few odd things at a lower voltage. (Like speakers. Might want independent power for those.)

@gallomimia even though 5V looks like the standard for most the parts, necessary current is differs substantially. Someone should do the study and come up with the data.
