About the driver amp

Hello i am talha from 6038 team. I want to reflect on the dashboard how much amps the victor drivers we use on the robot can do.

Thanks 🙂

Hey Talha,

I've looked into that controller you mentioned and from the user manual it doesn't look like it has any kind of smart feedback.  You may want to look through Chief Delphi to see if anyone on there has figured out a better way, but I'd just recommend hooking up an amp meter and using an analog input on the RoboRIO to read in the amperage.

That might be your best bet.  If you need some more direction, help with some context on why you are needing the amperage to make sure getting it is the best direction for your project.
