Re: 2014 Power Distribution Board, 2015 Control System

Yes. Power them off a 20A breaker.

The 2014 PDB had specific regulated outputs on the end (cRio, radio, and camera as the intended use). The outputs on the end of the 2015 PDP are not regulated - their voltage goes up and down with the battery just like everything else. So that's why you can use the unregulated snap action breaker ports on the side of the 2014 PDB to power the 2015 control system, for non competition solutions.
