Re: IR Beam Breaking Circuit
Although I have tried to get the powers that be to accept the use of 5 amp breakers in the PD, the rules allow you to still use the wiring as attached to the pre-wired sensor. Please read the rules carefully next year in case I succeed.
R46
F. Custom circuits and sensors powered via the cRIO-FRC or the Digital Sidecar are protected by the breaker on the circuit(s) supplying those devices. Power feeds to all other custom circuits must be protected with a dedicated 20-amp circuit breaker on the Power Distribution Board.
As an alternative you could also wire the sensor to a enclosed perf board that contains a wired fuse and allows power wiring to continue to the PD via #18 wire.
