  1. Programming and Electronics Training Monica Begnaud Cody Stafford

  2. Electronics Monica Begnaud

  3. Compact Rio (CRIO) • Brain of the Robot • Is connected to the Dlink by Ethernet cable • Outputs signals to the PD Board and Digital Sidecar • Has different slots depending on what your robot does • Ex: pneumatics

  4. Dlink and Camera • Dlink Router that the drive station connects to • Camera so the drivers can see from the robot’s perspective on the dashboard

  5. Power Distribution (PD) Board • Connected to the CRio • Send power out to the motor controls and the circuit breaker

  6. Digital Sidecar • Gets power from the PD board and signal from the CRio • Has signal outputs for the motor controls, servos, and the signal light

  7. Jaguar (Jags) Motor Connections • Motor controller • Connected to the Sidecar with a PWM wire and to the PD Board • Can control the amount of power sent to the motors Power Connections PWM Connections

  8. Spikes • Like a Jag, it’s a motor controller but it doesn’t vary the amount of power. It’s just on or off.

  9. CIM Motors • Connected to and controlled by the Jags Jag Connections

  10. Types of Wires Power Wires PWM Wires

  11. Breaker and Battery Connections • Battery connected to the breaker • Breaker controls the power to the robot. • Turn the breaker OFF before messing with any of the wiring!!! Power Button

  12. Programming a FRC Robot Cody Stafford

  13. What is LabVIEW? • Why Is programming important? • What Robotics programs use LabVIEW?

  14. LabVIEWProgramming basics What is a VI? • Robot Main.vi • Begin.vi • Autonomous.vi • TeleOp.vi • Finish.vi

  15. ‘Programming’ Flowchart • State hardware that will be used • Hardware’s function and speed • Decide controller layout • Create a flowchart of the program

  16. ‘Programming’ Flowchart Example • You have a robot with two motors, two jags, a CRio, and an Xbox control. You want the motors to run at ½ speed whenever you hit forward on the right stick but that is all you want it to do

  17. Example Flowchart

  18. Group ‘Programming’ Flowchart • Get into your groups • Decide on what hardware you are going to use • Create a flowchart for the manipulator your team choose
