Go to Post Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1 1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. - sciguy125 [more]

Re: Wiring Question

How do you mean? You need to have the Vic power line run off of a breaker, which (if I understand Vics Right) just gets passed through to the other side (I think the control circuitry gets power of the pwm cord), so essentially there's a 20+amp breaker in line. Just check FIRST's rules on how high an amperage the breaker needs to be.

Re: Wiring Question

this should be in the electrical forum. i dont think it is necessary to put a fuse when you have breakers that can trip. i dont believe it says anything against it in the rules.

You must use the resettable circuit breakers in the breaker panel provided. You may use fuses in place of the breaker for testing if you feel that you have a need for fuse protection over circuit breaker. They must be removed for inspection and competition. (see also the published inspection sheet on the FIRST website)
