Re: What is the FRC Robot Controller Power Consumption
I meant to reply to this earlier. The RC manual lists power at 1.5 amps (that 1500 ma for you guys that thought Dave was fooling) and I should have known that since the 7805 (the internal three terminal regulator in the RC) is specified at 1.5 amps max. BTW, I had to search for it, the specs are not easily found. I have not yet found the electrical specs for the OI in any doc. Perhaps an IFI guy who knows will post up.
