Re: Power for Driver Station

  1. Take a spare AC adapter with the appropriate DC barrel connector for the DS (doesn't have to be the right voltage), cut the wire.
  2. Strip and tin the loose wire ends.
  3. With a multimeter, verify which wire connects to the inside of the barrel, mark this with red electrical tape.
  4. Connect this new cable to the power distribution board with a 20A breaker
  5. Enjoy your robot-powered DS

I gave this to another team in the finals at FLR so they could do a quick reprogram, and would have done so again for team 188 but it was faster to have you guys grab the AC adapter while we went over what could be wrong on the robot. If you tie up/safely attach the DC cord, you could keep it wherever you disconnect the bridge ethernet so it's easy to swap both cables when you need a quick fix.
