So I think it would be nice to get some testing, I guess? If things work the way it is - I am fine with that. I do not want to overcomplicated something that works. The problem with voltage divider may arise in the following cases: 1) IR board is fully loaded with phototransistors. If every connection is used, it might happen that the voltage divider may not supply the given voltage because of the resistance that changed because of all the load. On the other hand, 5V that is being converted to the voltage divider in the first place is regulated, so it might work fine 2) Level shifter board should not have problems as is because currents are low. But can it be that there are problems when working on high frequencies?
I honestly think that in the level shifter scenario we can even use one of the pins as a voltage supply and omit voltage divider at all
Possible solution to 5V to 3.3V DC issue is https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/STMicroelectronics/LD1117V33?qs=sGAEpiMZZMug9GoBKXZ75%252BNB3YkcECi9WejQbqCGDNE%3D
as we use this system more and more, we would like to review all the boards. This comes to improve things, adapt initial development that took a different direction, etc.
