Re: Team 900's Incomplete Guide to Using the TX1 for FRC

One minor nit. You mention not installing the antennas because you can't support wireless. The antennas are still worth installing as they can be used to give a very futuristic, aesthetic appeal to the device, as well as being used to attach small flags to.

In all seriousness, how do yall supply a consistent 12V to the TX1? Does it get cranky when voltage sags to ~8V?

There is a link in the guide for the voltage regulator that we use.

Good point about the flag poles. Need a place to hang the team standard this year. Will have to amend the guide.

Re: Team 900's Incomplete Guide to Using the TX1 for FRC

Just FYI for folks. I'm getting a lot of questions about the voltage regulator that I keep linking to on amazon. The one we've been recommending is now out of stock and no longer listed. I'm not sure why but the 80W module that is now listed seems to be just fine (note, we haven't used it but it seems to be pretty much the same thing).

EDIT: This also seems to be similar: http://a.co/cAD3NYD

Yeah I'm on board with this, our team picked up one of the 80W regulators with the case and it is working perfectly for us so far, we've had no issues
