My set-up, powered straight out of the board itself: 

4 relays = 120mA each
1 spindle rotary encoder = 90mA
1 MPG = 65mA
1 PROBE = 45mA
Total = 680mA

If other sensors are required (eg. several linear scales, anything power hungry) then I'd recommend them to be powered externally via 5V and common ground.

Thanks, on a STEP pin, I assume it can it push enough mA to drive an opto-coupler inside the "generic" stepper driver that you get for say a NEMA34 size?

initial config's for your new board:
 

but only image and pin-locations, need to add the real FPGA-Pin names and the board needs a name,
i think you wrote a name somewhere but i haven't found it yet

EDIT: is there an LED Pin ????

Yes of course. One pin of the 7760 can put up with up to 10mA.

Ahhhhhh sweet, thank you so much!!!! That'll make things so much easier. Geez I need to learn how those pinouts are done, haven't got to the rio-setup part much yet :(

Only LED atm is the FPGA "Done" pin. You told me to add one and I forgot. The art of doing stuff in a rush on display... my bad. Let's add one for Rev 1.1

the board files are actually quite simple:
github.com/multigcs/riocore/blob/dev/rio...ecanix5ax/board.json

the only thing missing there are the fpga pins
Code:
“pin": ‘0’,
