The Digital Sidecar is the most complex FIRST-supplied breakout in the control system, providing the following functions:
- power input reverse voltage protection with circuit breaker
- power input indicator light
- 5 and 6 volt power supplies
- FRC friendly physical connections
- NXT port to enable use of Mindstorms components
- serial to parallel conversion for driving relays (spike)
- general purpose digital IO with pullups for digital inputs.
- buffered PWM outputs for motor controllers (victor and jaguar) and servos
- optional 6v power for servos
