Part 1: Introduction FRC 2907

Introduction  FRC 2907 since 2008  Each area of the robot has a team assigned  The Electronics team is headed this year by Mr. Fawcett and Trent Howell  Mitch Kimball and Steven Grubb are assisting

Basic Terms and Hardware  Power & Ground  Source & Sink  Voltage  Current  Resistance  Power  AWG  Servo  Encoder  Motor Controller  Power Distribution  Robot components

Power & Ground  The positive(+) and negative(-) ends of a power source.  Power is positive  Ground is negative  DO NOT reverse them. Ever. Seriously. Electrons flow from - to + The flow of electrons is called CURRENT and is measured in AMPS

Source & Sink  Source is the amount of power/voltage available for a circuit  Sink is reduction in voltage across a circuit – also called voltage drop

Voltage (Symbol is “V or E”)  Electrical potential  Difference between amount of electrons at 2 ends of the source  Measured in Volts (V or sometimes E)  Is what makes electrons move  Hose analogy

Current (Symbol is “I”)  The amount of electrons flowing in a circuit (kind of)  Measured in Amps (A or a )  Dangerous

Resistance (Symbol is “R”)  The opposition against current flow  Occurs naturally in every electrical circuit  Measured in Ohms (Ω)  Also called a “load”

Power (Symbol is “P”)  Relationship between volts and amps  Equal to Voltage x Current  P = IE  Measured in Watts (W)

Robot Battery  The power supply for an FRC robot is a single 12V 18Ah battery. The batteries used for FRC are sealed lead acid batteries capable of meeting the high current demands of an FRC robot.

Circuit Breaker The 120A Main Circuit Breaker serves two roles on the robot: the main robot power switch and a protection device for downstream robot wiring and components. The 120A circuit breaker is wired to the positive terminals of the robot battery and Power Distribution boards

Power Distribution Board (PDB)  The Power Distribution Board (PD) is designed to distribute power from a 12VDC battery to various robot components through auto-resetting circuit breakers, as well as provide specialized, regulated supplies for powering specific Control System Components.

Snap Action Circuit Breakers  The Snap Action circuit breakers, MX5-A40 and VB3 series, are used with the Power Distribution board to limit current to branch circuits.

cRIO  The NI-cRIO is the main robot controller. The cRIO should connect to the 24V port on the Power Distribution board for power, an ethernet port on the D-LINK DAP 1522 radio for communications and modules and their associated breakout boards for input and output.

Digital Sidecar  The Digital Sidecar provides 10 PWM outputs with 6V servo jumpers for controlling motor controllers and servos, 8 relay output pairs for controlling Spike H-Bridge Relays, 14 general purpose Digital I/O headers, a 6 pin header for I2C connections, an NXT cable compatible I2C connector, and an output for the Robot Signal Light.

Analog Breakout Board  The board provides a jumper for monitoring battery input voltage and 8 3 pin headers providing 5V power, an Analog input and ground.

Solenoid Breakout Board  The Solenoid Breakout Board takes the Digital Outputs of the NI 9472 module  The Solenoid breakout board accepts 12V or 24V input power and provides a signal and ground output for each of the 8 output channels.

D-Link Robot Radio  The D-Link DAP Rev B robot radio is used to provide wireless communication

12V-5V Power Converter  The 12V-5V Power Converter converts the 12V power output from the dedicated radio output on the Power Distribution Board to 5V for use with the D-Link DAP-1522 Robot Radio.

Ethernet Camera  The Axis M1011 and Axis 206 Ethernet cameras are used for capturing images for vision processing and/or sending video back to the Driver Station laptop.  camera should be wired to the 5V power output on the Power Distribution Board and either the robot radio or ethernet port 2 of an 8- slot cRIO-FRC.

Jaguar Motor Controller  The Jaguar Motor Controller from VEX Robotics is one of three variable speed motor controllers for use in FRC. The Jaguar can be controlled using either the PWM interface or over the CAN bus.

Talon Motor Controller  The Talon Motor Controller from Cross the Road Electronics is one of three variable speed motor controllers for use in FRC. The Talon is controlled over the PWM interface. The Talon should be connected to a PWM output of the Digital Sidecar and powered from the Power Distribution Board.

Victor Motor Controller  The Victor 888 Motor Controller from VEX Robotics is one of three variable speed motor controllers for use in FRC.  The Victor is controlled over the PWM interface. The Victor should be connected to a PWM output of the Digital Sidecar and powered from the Power Distribution Board.

Spike Relay  The Spike H-Bridge Relay from VEX Robotics is a device used for controlling power to motors or other custom robot electronics. When connected to a motor, the Spike provides On/Off control in both the forward and reverse directions.

Robot Wiring using AWG  ‘American Wire Gauge’  Normally referred as ‘Gauge’  Smaller number = bigger wire  6, 10,12, 14, 18 are all used on FRC robots

Servo  Type of small motor  Told to go to a certain position instead of what direction/speed

Encoder  Type of sensor  Detects how fast something is turning  Uses 2 digital inputs to sidecar  Requires custom cables
