How to power the Kinect on the robot.
I've been going through all the forums trying to figure out how to power the Kinect on the robot. (I'm leaving the programming question to others...)
I can disconnect the Wall-wart transformer/rectifier and have a cable that gets fed 12VDC. However, how do I connect it to the PDB? The dedicated 12V connector goes to the Wi-Fi. The main outputs have 30A breakers or something ridiculously high for the 1+ amps the Wall-Wart puts out.
Can I get several amp breakers for the PDB? Any other suggestions?
One of our team members thought of using the spike relay as it will take a small fuse, but wouldn't that have to be turned on during initialization... more work for the programmers.
Comments/Suggestions are appreciated.
