RE: [Paparazzi-devel] Tiny 2.11 supply

[akochevar]

If I understand you correctly you want to use 2 resistors to divide the voltage, and then run power, IE voltage and current from that lower voltage?  This is very inefficient, not only that you will have to find resistors rated at the power you will be trying to pull.  Definitely not a good practice.
