  1. Components of a Successful FRC Electrical System • Team 2177

  2. Basics of Electrical Systems • Components • Custom Circuits • Design

  3. Components • cRIO (brain) • Digital Side Car (spinal cord)

  4. Motor Controllers • Speed Controllers (muscles) • Relays (muscles)

  5. Speed Controllers Jaguar Victor Talon

  6. Speed Controllers

  7. Speed Controllers

  8. Speed Controllers

  9. Speed Controllers

  10. Speed Controllers • How do you choose? • Linearity (great for drive train, possibly not needed for other items) • Size (smaller is always better) • Control (direct sensor feedback can be very useful) • What do you have in stock?

  11. Relays • Spike • No variable speed control • Small footprint • 20 Amp Limiting • Factors into motor choice

  12. components • Fans (sweat glands) • Battery (heart) • Radio (mouth) • Converter (lungs)

  13. Components • Power distribution board (circulatory system) • Everything plugs into power distribution board

  14. components • Wiring (nerves) • power wires (blood vessels) • 40 Amp -> 12 gauge • 30 Amp -> 14 gauge • 20 Amp -> 18 gauge • signal wires (nerves)

  15. Sensors • Provide feedback • Encoders • Potentiometers • Limit Switch • Ultrasonic senor • Accelerometer

  16. Components • Custom circuits • LEDs • Teams with LEDs that lit up when they shot • Camera • Light up vision targets • On-board computers • Anything else you can think of!

  17. Organization • Wiring organization • color code • number system • zip ties • tie downs • power polls

  18. Board Layout • How do we lay out our board? • List all items on board and get all of them • How much room you have for board? • Where does the board go? • Spacial constraints • Lay out all components and their wire routes to make sure they all make sense

  19. Thank You • Thanks for coming! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them now!
