] | Due to voltage drop in wires it is a good idea to use a voltage regulator in each device.
I'm going to do something similar: I will distribute 5V, and have 3V3 local LDOs because everything runs at 3V3. If you absolutely need 5V you could distribute 6V and use local 5V LDOs.

For example, if you can accomodate wiring your modules with 10AWG cable (5mm²), distributing 5V DC could be acceptable: for a 10m x2 (supply and ground) wire, at 1A, that will amount to 0.12V of drop, which probably won't be a pr... |
