What would happen if we put 24 volts through the power distribution board? The spec sheet for the power distribution board says that it can take 6-15 Volts. We do not know why there is a operating voltage range because we are assuming all the grounds are internally connected and all the positive power is internally connected so voltage should not matter, right?
EricVanWyk designed the PDB I believe. You might try sending him a Private Message.
