Re: Does the cRio cut motors at 5.5Vdc on CAN?

Thanks for your thoughts Al.
I was showing the video to the kids last night as a refresher on things we want to plan in wiring.
The only way I can think of to discern this would be to put it on a variable power supply and decrease the voltage and see what happens......

We are a 2nd year team and are using 4 drive motors and so I'm more concerned about system voltage drop this year than last.

Well, if I get a chance to try it, I'll let you know.

Mike
