Re: Talon ground

Check the blue box under <R37> in the 2014 FRC Manual. The inspectors will be looking for at least 10K Ohms between either (+) or (-) Anderson Power Pole terminal that is connected to the PD board and the robot chassis. You might want to check for at least ten times that resistance between any Talon terminal and its heatsink, if you will be attaching several Talon heatsinks to your robot's chassis. To be safe, isolate the Talons.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
