Take care.
There is a 0.5A fuse in front of that regulator, and that limits the total we can draw from the car.
Håkon did some work on this last year, and we introduced some generic GPIO control in v2.5.4.

Looks like a 7805-regulator is supplying the OVMS module with +5V @ 1.5A max.

80mA won't be a problem then.

It may be a problem to get the 5V from the output of the regulator, but the nice thing about that module is that it is isolated; you can connect your own power supply and be 100% safe. These relays draw about 80mA each (just tested them, I have the same product at home), so if you turn them on one at a time and for short periods of time it should be ok (I don't know a lot about the termal design of the OVMS).

My knowledge of electronics is limited.
As far as I understand the OVMS module is supplied with +12V via the OBD connector. What I don't understand is where the +5V comes from?
https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/blob/master/v...
I'm currently trying to control a relay using the RC3 output on the PIC18F2580 as a control signal to a rely on a relay module
http://www.dx.com/p/arduino-2-channel-relay-shield-module-red-144140#.U59Qav....
The relay module needs to be supplied with +5V to drive the relays, and my plan was to get the +5V from the OVMS module using pin 13 on the HEADER 9X2.
But I'm afraid I might blow something on the OVMS module if the relay module draws to many mA.
Any advice would be appreciated.
