Re: Power Management Recommendation for driver stations

If you are using the PSoC board make sure to unplug it between matches, it's a real powerhog. At Chesapeake Regional, our Classmate was charged going into Elims. By SF 1-2 our Classmate battery was in the red and the PSoC was failing to connect (so we stopped using it). In SF 1-4 (a back to back match), the battery was very low and may have contributed to periodic network communication error. We would run for about 10sec then lose communication for about 2 sec (not sure the Classmate was the problem but since we didnt play a match afterward, it remains a possibility). Back in the pits the PSoc wouldn't work till I plugged the Classmate in. I couldn't reproduce the communication errors while tethered.
