PD Board and Talon/Victor Alternatives
Hi All!
I have been working on a project outside of an FRC robot and I have been looking for a Power Distribution Board alternative as well as a good alternative for controlling motors other than the Talon and Victor Motor controllers.
I looked into the old Chief Delphi forums, but they seemed to be primarily focusing on cRio and RoboRIO alternatives. I'm planning on using either a Raspberry Pi or an Arudino for the project, depending on what my requirements were for the PD Board and motor controller alternatives.
I know I will be needing output capabilities similar to the PD Board, but a little less: 12V at 5-20A output.
I figured, as many teams in the off season look for alternatives to their normal control system because of funds, this would also be helpful information for them as well.
Thanks for the help!
