Re: Problems with IR Board

For what its worth, I contacted Ben at Diversified Systems and asked about testing the board by bypassing the 5 volt regulator and just powering the board via a regulated 5VDC supply connected to pins 2 and 3 of the white connector. He replied that the PIC will smoke at 5.5 volts but it would be a good test of the functionality of the rest of the board to try it at 5VDC. So we broke down and tried it. Same results, nothing seemed to happen at least with the on board LEDs. Ben indicated that Diversified Systems is working with FIRST to determine how best to resolve the problems so I suspect we will all be getting an email blast from FIRST sooner or later on how to repair/replace/order the IR receiver boards. I guess all we can do for now is wait and see.

Ben and Diversified Systems: Thank you again very much for your support of FRC and the very generous donation. We are all looking forward to learning exactly what it is we are supposed to do with these IR boards!
