Re: Radio 12V to 5V converter
It's quite important.
If you do not use the protected power supply offered by the special WiFi power connection on the end of the Power Distribution Panel, then you risk a power dip.
During a deep enough power dip, all power to the standard red/black wago connections is purposely completely cut in order to insure power is protected to the cRIO & WiFi, through those special protection power connections. Each of those devices take a lot of time to recover from any power outage.
A power dip on the WiFi bridge takes a full minute to recover from.
Your robot sits dead on the field that whole time.

Reason: oops, not the 5v output too.
