I noticed this game seems to be a higher power usage game. How much power are you using per match? (you can find it in drivers station)
We are running about 120 k joule per match.
Too much. Our batteries are sad this year… I think that’s a pretty common theme for many teams this season.
This year we only ran one motor per pivot instead of the usual two, and we still have 19 motors. I think shooter games in general require high power usage due to idle speed.
Can you please point out where in the DS this metric can be found? Do you have to have the PDH configured in your code?
i second this, i would like to track this moving forward, we have yet to have any power related issues, through two competitions, with 19 neos on the robot.
Click on the gear Icon above the message and click view log file. It will pop up a window. On the left of that section will be a list of matches the name will be the time or like Q1 if it were an actual match. Once you select a match below that section is a section at the bottom that lists the per motor K joules used then a sum at the bottom. You don’t need a PDH for this metric.
Maybe I needed more options, I didn’t figure 140+ would be the biggest as that is pushing the limits of these batteries.
Honestly I am not sure where the max is in these batteries. I was surprised at the number 140+
To those of you that used over 140 how much are you using? Are you having brown outs?
It’s easy to get that much energy out of an ordinary battery. Just drop it into one of these:
we spike to like 180-240, no brownouts till the upper end of the range.
Surely you mean amps not kilojoules per match
yep, sry
All of the power
