Re: Issue with power distribution board
Yeah, my problem last night with altium was mostly that I only had Mac's available, and didn't want to waste 2 hours standing up a virtual Windows environment.
That being said, we just finished swapping out the old PDB. Unfortunately, after sitting all night unplugged, the 12V connector did not come back to life, so i'm guessing we burned out something other than the solid state fuse.
In reconnecting everything, we checked the radio power wire, and it was sound - no shorts. We also checked the frame, and discovered a short there. After some digging around, we finally found a pinched wire near one of the Spikes. I'm guessing the plug for the radio shorted to the frame while the robot was on, and because of the pinched wire exceeded the 2A fuse.
Thanks everyone for your help!
