Re: Limit switches on a lift -- best practice
It should be noted that the previous custom circuit is not legal for FRC per R47.
It's okay for non FRC use, however you must make sure to use both switches and diodes rated for the current they will be passing.
Warning - potential fire hazard
Quote:
[R47]
Custom circuits shall not directly alter the power pathways between the battery, PD Board, speed controllers,
relays, motors, or other elements of the Robot control system (including the power pathways to other sensors or
circuits). Custom high impedance voltage monitoring or low impedance current monitoring circuitry connected to
the Robot’s electrical system is acceptable, if the effect on the Robot outputs is inconsequential.
