Re: Gyro Smoking

Just a thought...The mounting holes for the board are part of the ground plane so if you have an electrical problem on the frame, you may have run a lot of current through the board. Double check your other robot wiring before you hook up the second device. The Crio chassis is also tied to the negative terminal of the battery and needs to be isolated from the frame.
