Re: Weird issue with the power distribution block

Just so that we don't confuse anyone, the diodes are speced at 1V@20 amps and 1.25V@40 amps each when forward biased. So even if you could drive the motors at full RPM (highly doubtful) then the diodes would drop at least 2 volts in the speed controller. Remember that the bridge would have two diodes in series with the power supply input pins plus the 0.0005 ohm resistor in the Jaguar negative lead plus the wiring resistance. It is unlikely that you could provide enough power to light up the power convertors for the Crio but you might. Just not long enough for any of the system to boot.
