Powering roboRIO with old PD Board
 

Our team wants to make an extra robot to show off to sponsors, but we don't have a complete new control system. We have an extra roboRIO, but we don't have extra of the PDP's or Voltage Regulator modules. Everything else is ready and wired; we only need to power the roboRIO. We powered the D-Link off the 12 volt port of the PDB with a 12 volt to 5 volt converter. The 5 volt and 24 volt ports are open. What do we have to do to get it to work? Do we need to order extra parts?

The roboRIO wants raw battery voltage. Feed it from one of the small red/black Wago pairs protected by a 20-amp breaker. If you have any 10-amp breakers, you can use one of them instead.
