Powering roboRIO with old PD Board
Our team wants to make an extra robot to show off to sponsors, but we don't have a complete new control system. We have an extra roboRIO, but we don't have extra of the PDP's or Voltage Regulator modules. Everything else is ready and wired; we only need to power the roboRIO. We powered the D-Link off the 12 volt port of the PDB with a 12 volt to 5 volt converter. The 5 volt and 24 volt ports are open. What do we have to do to get it to work? Do we need to order extra parts?
