Driver station reads 17 volts????
When I look at the driver station it reads 17.7 as the voltage??? It doesn't drop at all it just stays right at 17.7

Either you have it hooked up wrong, or you have the Battery of the Gods. Probably filled with Mountain Dew...

What does your handheld digital volt meter say is on the PD board main terminals?

I hooked it up to a power supply and it reads 9 volts (that's what I set the power supply to) but the driver station still says 17.7 and won't move from that

9 volts is awful low. could it be a bug with a battery with really low voltage?

Re: Driver station reads 17 volts????
No I set the power supply to 9.5 just to be safe cause I don't like accidently setting it to high (it has a very sensitive dial) so setting it to 10 made the pdb 10 too

Re: Driver station reads 17 volts????
Do you have the jumper on the breakout installed correctly?

Well the wire going to the breakout is reading 24 volts off a voltimeter and I haven't touched the jumper since last year.

Re: Driver station reads 17 volts????
Wow.... Did you hook the analog breakout board up to the 24V boost on the PD, or did you do it the right way and connect it to one of the standard 12V outlets?

Re: Driver station reads 17 volts????
Twas only a jest. It's working now I had a loose wire and it just froze at that voltage for some reason so when I restarted the driver station it was 0 volts but all's good.

Re: Driver station reads 17 volts????
Should it have even been at that voltage in the first place?
