Documentation for the ancient "Power Distribution Board"

Does anyone have a PDF document for the ancient “Power Distribution Board”?

I can no longer find any documentation for this online.

Is this what you are looking for? http://team358.org/files/programming/ControlSystem2009-/control_system/Power%20Distribution%20Board.pdf

Also this version of wpilibs guide for the 2014 control system (the last year the blue CRIO and PDB based system was legal)

How ancient we talking here…

Well I really hope the ones being linked so far here isn’t what’s being referred to as “ancient”, otherwise the argument could be made that I’m ancient :sweat_smile:

I was more worried it was a request for something like a circuit diagram for Rug Rage or Maize Craze. Hint there probably isn’t a true one, the best I could ever find was this sketch in the game manual for 1993. There are pinouts for the standard kit hardware after.

Edit: If 2014 is ancient I’m Ancient -2. Still feels old. I joined FRC at the tail end 2012 season just in time to graduate after 2013, become a mentor and then have them system all change over to the RoboRio, PDP, VRM as soon as I got the hang of the CRIO system top to bottom.

We found one of these still in its new packaging in our shop the other day! Maybe we should wire it up and put it on a practice chassis…

That’s it. Thanks.

We have several on old chassis. They are quite functional and close enough to current to be a good teaching tool.

They’re great for non competitive purposes. Plenty of slots, and 3 built in voltage regulated outputs on the bottom edge for 5v, 12v, and 24v.
