  • Side note: The actually used voltage regulator differs from board to board (with chinese clones etc) so you always need to look at the datasheet. For the LM2940x in the 5V version, the output is between 4.85 to 5.15V (given about 10V input voltage at 25°C). Other regulators (AMS1117,..) might differ.

  • That's a great, definitive explanation because you've also shown me how to discover this information on my own. Thanks very much and for the note about the clones. Commented Jun 11, 2018 at 20:48
