Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

We're wired the same way as https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/24166/l/144971-wiring-the-2016-frc-control-system#!prettyPhoto
this. Which is correct.

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

We're *really slow*, decided on pushing power early on. I'll get the current draw ASAP.

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

It's voltage, not power(joules), my bad.

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

It's just power output compared to ℅ battery charge. We use it to get a rough idea of how fast our batteries are being drained. Older, worse batteries tend to lose charge...

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

We track and compile data from a battery beak, including power output, drain rate, and changes in amperage at various voltages. If they get below a certain threshold we stop using that battery and...

Was off on my math/material type. It's actually .7CoF, 370N force of traction

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

We have a rigorous standard for competition batteries, and start each machine with a fresh, fully charged battery, so I doubt that's the issue.

However, we have a very high traction drive train...

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

As far as the brownouts go, all components go into brownout protection mode when actually driving. The roboRIO also loses connection.

When we set the robot up on blocks (minimal load), only the...

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

I can say with 100% certainty that our wiring is not the problem. The wiring is pristine, and correct. My question is what can be done to minimize input current spikes as much as possible, assuming...

Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

We wouldn't have passed inspection if it was powered from the wrong place. We've got it running off the same rail as the VRM and PCM(which we don't have) on the PDP.

Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

Hi, we've been having frequent brownouts through our whole robot, with the roboRIO being the first device to lose power. This happens primarily when we change directions rapidly, or get into a...
