The other day, we made a power cord to power the driver station through the power distribution board, allowing us to mount the driver station on the bot (we're making a gokart
). We did a test and everything seemed to work, comms, battery voltage, enable/disable with the big blinking light. We turned around to program it and when we powered the bot/DS up again, it refused to boot up. It would get part way, then reset, and repeat. Most of the time it would fill up all white before restarting.
We have it plugged into the smaller section of the power distribution board with a 20 amp breaker. We have tested the other end of the cord and it is getting 12.5 V, which seems right.
