Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.

>> I had a buddy measure the PWM 6V line from the RoboRIO (Our team does not have RoboRIO and it was 5.7 volts with a fresh 12V battery. Does this concern anyone for driving several servo motors? What would happen to the 6V line if there are 6 servos running at the same time?

>> I measured 6.0V on the older cRio. Is there a current limit on the output of each of these RoboRIO PWM 6V (5.7V ) pins? I wanted to make sure I get all the power I need for driving several servos at the same time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am more concerned with the servos, not the motors. The servos are going to use the middle conductor's 6V (5.7V). I would like to know the current limit imposed by the RoboRIO designers. The servo power is directly proportional to the current supplied by the RoboRIO. It looks like we are already getting voltages lower than the spec.
