Photoeye's not working-Difference between RoboRIO and Digital Side Card?

Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school - buildmaster5000 [more]

Alan,
You know me, I work on failure mode and tying two different power supplies together is not something I recommend. A miswire or bad insulation job forces the two supplies together with some unknown consequences. I would suspect that the 5 volt supply might take out the RoboRio through over voltage on the 3.3 volt buss.
