Re: Voltage drop normal?


I'm not sure telling the driver "don't slam the throttle" is the correct long-term solution to a robot that experiences sufficiently severe brownouts in response to rapid throttle changes to cause the cRIO to boot.

I'd recommend exploring these options first:

Check your drivetrain gear ratio

Check for excessive drivetrain friction or alignment problems

Check your battery

Check your wiring

Add slew rate limiting to the throttle.
