Re: 2015 FRC Control System Components from VEXpro
Just a note to teams pre-ordering this stuff. You may want to pre-order 2 VRMs.
If the D-Link is used for the 2015 season, it will use the entire 5V 2A rail on a single VRM, so if your team also uses a 5V axis camera, 5V co-processor like a beaglebone, or any other 5V circuit that requires more than 500mA, you will want to run that off of a second VRM.
You can still use the 5V 500mA, 12V500mA, and 12V2A sources on the same VRM as the Radio.
Note: This is not official direction from FIRST, it just may be a good idea so you do not have items competing with the D-link power source.

If I was making this I would want to not have to use anything smaller than a 3/16" end mill, but 1/8" would be acceptable. Anything smaller and I'd tell the designer to go play in traffic. - Cory [more]
