Re: Batteries Plus
Might lead to the misunderstanding about the cRIO controlling power brownouts.
I wonder how the power bleed through the 37-pin cable affects this, since that supplies enough power to keep the PWMs operating without the 12v power source, unless too many PWMs are active.
Although, with a power brownout and PDP diverting the power to the protected outputs, there is only a trickle of voltage coming off the PDP to supply the speed controllers in any case. Trying to drive the normal complement of things will make the robot seem dead on the field anyway.
