Re: How does this robot have addressable LEDs still running when disabled?

Is it legal just to use an NPN transistor to drive the LED strip? drive the transistor from the DIO on the roborio. power form a fused output on PDB.

I don't see anything in rule 44 forbidding this.

Wires would have to be the appropriate gauge for the fuse on power distribution board.
