Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.

Would someone be able to confirm whether or not the VRM/PCM/RoboRIO ports have current monitoring? ie Do the three ports along the bottom of the PDP have current monitoring like the rest of the panel?

Also it would be good to know a little more detail about said current monitoring, things like resolution, accuracy, sample rate etc. Would someone be able to comment?

It would be interesting if the current measurement was good enough to integrate and sum the currents to be able to have a proper measure of battery charge, although this relies on accuratly knowing the state of charge at the beginning of the match.
