Re: PD Board and Talon/Victor Alternatives

Thank you guys for all the quick help and the suggestions!
I did a little more research after you guys gave some pointers.
I never even thought to look in an auto shop for a fuse block! The idea never crossed my mind.
I also looked into the raspberry pi pwm capabilities and found a 16 Channel PWM driver from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/product/815) that could probably suffice to expand the PWM capabilities.

I have looked into using the Spark Motor Controller and the Arduino Motor shields too. The Spark is probably the most cost effective motor controller for those current levels, huh?

For the fuse block that ajlapp posted, does that work like an FRC PDB? (I obviously do not have much experience with fuse blocks ha ha) Like you have a main power in and then it branches out with the fuses as needed for motors?

Thanks again! Chief Delphi is quite an amazing community!
