Re: Cheap replacement for the Power Distribution Board

My understanding is that it is only guaranteed to work over the 19-30V range. It might work lower, but you are on your own. The boost supply was designed to not test those bounds, but independent projects can attempt what they see fit and live with the consequences. I've definitely seen the cRIO operate well below 19V, but I wouldn't guarantee that it works 100% of the time.

However, if Greg (Mr. NI) says it will work, I'll believe him. He'd know much better than I would.
