I am at the point in assembling my first Eggtimer where I need to solder in the Voltage Regulator...or not. I've never used an altimeter that requires multiple batteries before, although I have a few of the 3.7v LiPo batteries from my Ravens. I would prefer as few battery connections as possible, just from a simplicity and ease of setup standpoint. I've soldered switches, tinned wires and other small soldering needs. But, this was my first soldering project, really. So, I am not an electronics guru by any stretch.
After reading every Eggtimer posting I could find, reading the User Manual and Assembly Manual, I am still unclear on how each of the power options eventually works out. The options appear to be:
For those of you that took B, how well did it work and how did you wire it all up? Any pictures of either or both options built on a sled and wired up? Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks!

A. Take the 3V option, requiring three 3.7V LiPos (main power & channels A and B)--need some kind of connector to solder in
B. Install the voltage regulator and use one or more batteries? Not sure how this will work.
