Re: 5v brownout (different that RR supply brownout)
If you are overloading the 5v rail, try using the WCP Spartan Sensor Board for PWM. It has its own power connection and the PWM ports on the board use that power, and not the RoboRio's power.

You might also be able to use the power from the VRM for the DIO and AIO loads (instead of using +5v from the DIO/AIO connector, get +5v from the VRM).
