Help with electrical

[KellyRex842]

I'm working on the schematics for this year and I don't know if this year's FRC radio needs a DC Power Converter. Can someone please answer me if we need the CPR-360 Power Converter. Thanks!

According to this documentation, the radio plugs directly into the 12V/2A supply on the VRM.

Yeah, you can do that or just make a custom one. Those are always fun. :0)

Not for competition.

FYI: check the polarity on the power cable or you risk frying your radio.

Yeah. Fried radio doesn't smell good. Trust me

It gets power directly from the VRM.
