Re: Power Control Panel Issues

I would think that too, but when we swapped panels, the problem went away. That doesn't mean they weren't wired incorrectly into the panel, however, that's really unlikely as that we check and double checked the wires coming in before we swapped. Occam's Razor would lead us to think that its fighting motors, but that didn't seem to be the case.
That's why I was wondering if there was a way to test the panel off the bot.

That said, I've copied off your troubleshooting steps, formatted them for a word document and am printing them off to post in our room as just plain a good idea.

Re: Power Control Panel Issues

By heavy gauge wires do you mean the wires going between the battery and PDP and the main breaker? Or the wires going to a motor and motor controller?

When using the "bad" PDPs, what voltage do you see on the driver station when the robot is just sitting still with a fresh battery?

Does anything get hot while the robot just sits there turned on?
