Re: Cheap replacement for the Power Distribution Board
As I mentioned at the beginning, I'm just a SW guy -- with a EE minor, but that was a long time ago. I know for certain that we have run cRIOs on a single 12 volt battery, but I can't be certain that the cRIO was stock. They may have modified the power supply, or they may have simply verified that it'd run to the 9 or so volts that I remember.

I certainly am not suggesting any modifications to the cRIO, and I'll take any EE input over my own when it comes to power.
