Re: powr dist. board/cRIO puzzle - please advise!
I'll let Chad Spackman, wjo is really the brains behind this add in when he can, but today he wired up a bench system - battery to distribution panel to victor. Shorting a 15 amp fuse on the power distribution panel immediately shuts down the cRIO,just like we saw on our robot. On this nech system, no possibility of CRIO being in contact with metal frame, no possibility of wiring gluitches with victors, etc. A simple short to the power distribution board and the cRIO folds.
