Re: Spike Relays
I remember a few years ago they were testing a new relay device. I don't know what ever came from that, but maybe the spikes are getting replaced, which wouldn't surprise me. They are the oldest electronic item currently sold. I could see a CAN relay becoming popular, especially since they are limited to 4 relay ports on the RoboRIO. Plus with the size of solid state relays nowadays, you could probably make a 2-4 port Relay box fairly easily, using 1 CAN connection.
