It will not be possible to open the contactors if USB comms are lost. This is an unacceptable design. Is there a way to mitigate this?
Is there a way to cycle the power on the Teensy from the Pi so that the relays lose power and reset? This may be possible as on power up/down the Pi controls the power to the USB ports.
We could put the power to the Teensy relays though a relay controlled by the Pi GPIO so we could de-power the relays from the Pi as a way to open the contactors. Only if USB comms are lost.
