 I think Dave has been spending time on icanhascheezburger. Either that or the fumes from his rendering machines have affected the grammar control portion of his brain. - rsisk [more] |

Re: Driver Station ESD sensitivity
Quite serendipitous that you mentioned this. Just last night, team 190 was driving around with the new control system and we managed to fry the DS as well. When we went to hit the disable switch, there was an electrostatic discharge that immediately killed the DS and at this point, it looks like it also took out both the Ethernet ports.
To mitigate this, I would suggest that if you have the slightest inkling of possibly sending an ESD into the DS, ground yourself beforehand (i.e., shock yourself before touching the DS).
