Exclamation Warning bad vex pro sipke

While temporarily disconnecting our compressor our team pulled the breaker from the spike controlling it and noticed that the compressor was still running.

after taking it apart we noticed that the two pins in the middle of the fuse holder were soldered together.

http://www.granitecitygearheads.com/...2013-Spike.jpg

The spike functioned normally ,but does any one know if the two pins in the top left by d6 were supposed to be soldered together?

Thanks FRC #3244

sorry about the image size i haven't posted much

Re: Warning bad vex pro sipke

If it works after the breaker is pulled, then yes, you pulled enough current at some point to melt the solder and jump the gap. You should be able to fix it with a soldering iron, assuming it functions normally otherwise.

They can't use it on their robot if they fix it

I can verify that the joints between J4 and J3 shouldn't be connected, and that (at least on the one I have infront of me) The two pads at D6 aren't connected, but it looks like they are on the same trace so it shouldn't matter.

Re: Warning bad vex pro sipke

Its not a bug its a feature!!! Beats arguing that a resettable breaker should be legal there.

Re: Warning bad vex pro sipke

It looks like something with a good hand at soldering can fix. We fixed one of the main terminals that came undone for some reason on our spike and it works fantastically. Judging from the picture, there is a lot of solder on that joint, as well so you might want to remove some of that.
