Re: Photoeye's not working-Difference between RoboRIO and Digital Side Card?
Alan,
You know me, I work on failure mode and tying two different power supplies together is not something I recommend. A miswire or bad insulation job forces the two supplies together with some unknown consequences. I would suspect that the 5 volt supply might take out the RoboRio through over voltage on the 3.3 volt buss.
