A strange question, I know.
I've been having a strange problem with the PMS-PD drastically lowering the 3.3v rail resistance to GND. (And there is no way on EARTH that this is user error, as I've tried everything from re-wiring the joints, to taking it out and cleaning it. But if you really want to look at it, here it is:
)
Anyway, I've been trying to find a work around, and since I'm not using the 5V rail, I thought I could put it to use.
Using a 470K Ohm resistor, I managed to get the 5V rail to output around 3.3V. It kind of worked, but only if I connected it to the GC+, and connected the PD to that. But, for some reason, the GC+ was unresponsive if I did that.
The only solution left is to directly use the 5V rail, but I'm afraid that I may damage something if I do that. I only ask because I've heard that a lot of 3.3V components are 5V tolerant.
