2015 Compressor Fuse
It was brought to my attention this week that there might be a fairly major issue with the way the Pneumatics board is powered, and the Compressor. The PD board uses 1 20a mini fuse to power both the Voltage Regulator board and the Pneumatics board. The Voltage board is what is powering the Radio, and there is functionality in the Pneumatics board to power the compressor. Running both of these off of 1 20a fuse could be a major issue, because I remember popping 20a fuses in spikes before we replaced them with the breakers. With the way the system is setup now, if the compressor pops the fuse, it will shut off the radio. Have any of the beta teams talked about this to make sure this doesn't actually become an issue?
