Re: Electrical Visibility

As a minimum your inspector wants to be able to see all three LEDs on the PD, the connectors that feed out to the Crio and 5 volt regulator and must be able to see all breakers and wire input and outputs of the PD. Following that, he/she must be able to see all LEDs on the digital sidecar, the Crio frame, and the analog sidecar. Additional visibility must conform to above posts and the main breaker must be visible and easy to get to for someone who is not on your team. These LEDs are present for troubleshooting and help field personnel insure you connect to the field. If they can't help you, your robot just becomes a paperweight. Help us help you.
