The NI page has a spec sheet that says there's a staged brownout from 4.5V-6.8V. Is that new? My understanding is that the current PDB feeds 24V to the cRio, so 4.5V of battery voltage (plus a bit for resistance losses) can meet the 9-30 V power requirement. If that requirement goes up to 6.8 V or down to 3.4 V, that has implications for robot design. |
It's connected
directly to the PD board battery supply.
I can't find the post but I read that they made it to allow for teams to mess up and hook it up to 24 volts without destroying it.
Okay, who's willing to admit they treat their robot as a pet? - Bill Moore [more]
