Avoid shorts on MXP Expansion I/O pins

If a short occurs between any of the MXP Expansion I/O pins, the POWER led on the RoboRIO will turn red, and the navX-sensor circuit board will not receive power.

To protect against accidental shorts, Kauai Labs recommends a protective enclosure that at least partially encases the MXP I/O pins, such as the “lid”-style enclosure created for the navX2-MXP / navX-MXP sensors.
