Re: Sidecar Brownout causing motors to move

Thad,
If the DSC was browning out so was everything else on the robot. All bets are off when that occurs. Most often the DSC power supplies start to fail at about 5.5 volts, the PD power fails at about 4.5 volts. If there is a sudden surges, a lot of noise is generated in all of the control systems. I have not heard of a brownout fault with the Talons, but you might want to check with Mike at Cross The Road.
