*added velcro for power cord
*labelled broken switches (<span style="color:#3498db;">label maker was not printing the full height, so text smaller than desired</span>)
*Create bitmap of Controllers and what their buttons are
**There are Word files in our 2019&nbsp;Controls folder (under Build Season on the school's Robotics file share)
**Make a copy of these and put them in this years Controls folder (under Build Season)
**look at 'Controller 2 - Aux' table on iomap wiki page ([http://penfieldrobotics.com/wiki/index.php?title=2020:Robot_IO_Map http://penfieldrobotics.com/wiki/index.php?title=2020:Robot_IO_Map])
**<span style="color:#ff0000;">these must be Word documents with editable text (i.e. not one big bitmap): neede for when buttons assignments change</span>
**For the Aux pick, we can change it to a white controller; but do that last. for now we just need accurate mappings.
**work with programmers on what the main driver controller buttons are (they were asked to fill it in, so if it isn't go ask them) 
*Release 3D Printer Parts for final printing, they are in the 3D printer files folder in the controls. I believe they need part numbers, proper STL files generated (see Dave. W's instructions), and to be added to the spreadsheet.
**DeathStarDoorKnob: This file need to be resized (shrunk) before it's printed, it's 4x the size it's suppose to be (after modification it should be 1" across). Make sure to print two of these.
**Lever: Should be good as is.
**ViewFinder. Make sure to print two of these. 
*Sliders
**Mount sliders to the perf board
**Wire up the sliders to a connector 
*Aux Joystick

*Get paint on the shopping list (maybe Eric will just pick up when we need it)
*wire LEDs strips
**individualy strips need to be wired together so there is one per panel
**will need long wires to connect strips between the two panels 
*wire bling buttons (will connect to PSoC)
*PSoC board (for left panel)
**need perf board
**add PSoC, so its reset button aligns with hold in vertical part of base
**add more pins to PSoC (which pins is TBD)
**add wiring for LEDs (capacitor, resistor, etc.)
**add pins for slider and bling buttons
**router USB extension wire (gets connected directly to laptop, needs as much USB power as possible) 
*borken switches board (for right&nbsp;panel)
**need perf board
**add 'USB' board
**create long wires to get from broken switches to 'USB' board
**add wiring for broken switch LEDs (want to activate when switch is flipped; they are not part of the bling LED strips)
**route USB wire (may need to be extended; gets connected to USB hub) 
*mount items in laptop support
**laptop power supply
**USB hub (broken switches and Xbox controllers connect to it)

*Pick or buy USB HUB<span style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span>
**look at the USB hubs we already have [<span style="color:#ff0000;">will go with what we have, just need to pull it. there is a yellow lighting bolt in the 'shield' controls. there are 'X' ones in the drawer in the shop</span>] 
*Look for handle
**see what handles we already have (e.g. suit case handle or spring loaded one we have used in the past) you can look at prior year shoping list to find handles we have order before [<span style="color:#ff0000;">seem to like the suit case handle we have leftover from prior year, need to confirm the mounting is doable (or find another to order). if we use the suit case one, then we will need a clip to hold the handle up against the laptop support so the controls can be placed on the drivers stations table</span>]
**looking at prior ones (before last year's) so we have a confortable handle
**tenative plan is to mount to base behind laptop support [<span style="color:#ff0000;">decided having on side was too 'wide' to be a comfortable carry, either mount directly to base of back of laptop support; not sure if laptop support can handle all the stress since it is thinner than the base and not a fully welded square</span>]

   Controls Plan A 2020.jpg   

2 Xbox Controllers. For Aux, the 2 sticks will be changed to knobs
 

To do

Not Started

In Process

Completed

  • added velcro for power cord
  • labelled broken switches (label maker was not printing the full height, so text smaller than desired)
  • Create bitmap of Controllers and what their buttons are
    • There are Word files in our 2019 Controls folder (under Build Season on the school's Robotics file share)
    • Make a copy of these and put them in this years Controls folder (under Build Season)
    • look at 'Controller 2 - Aux' table on iomap wiki page (http://penfieldrobotics.com/wiki/index.php?title=2020:Robot_IO_Map)
    • these must be Word documents with editable text (i.e. not one big bitmap): neede for when buttons assignments change
    • For the Aux pick, we can change it to a white controller; but do that last. for now we just need accurate mappings.
    • work with programmers on what the main driver controller buttons are (they were asked to fill it in, so if it isn't go ask them)
  • Release 3D Printer Parts for final printing, they are in the 3D printer files folder in the controls. I believe they need part numbers, proper STL files generated (see Dave. W's instructions), and to be added to the spreadsheet.
    • DeathStarDoorKnob: This file need to be resized (shrunk) before it's printed, it's 4x the size it's suppose to be (after modification it should be 1" across). Make sure to print two of these.
    • Lever: Should be good as is.
    • ViewFinder. Make sure to print two of these.
  • Sliders
    • Mount sliders to the perf board
    • Wire up the sliders to a connector
  • Aux Joystick
    • Design 3D printed knob for new pots [THIS IS OUT #1 PRIORITY]
      • find datasheet to get measurements, or look at actual part
      • needs to fit over the 'D' shape knob
      • needs to fit through hole in Xbox controller
    • Mount knobs to joystick.
  • Wire broken switches (will connect to USB joystick board)
    • Find LEDs to use for broken switches.
    • Figure out way to attach the LEDs to the light pipes.
  • Aux controller decided to be white driver to be black
    • Add new pots to circuit board (work with Eric)
      • Solder in the new pots, make sure to get a consistent orientation
      • Secure the pots to the joystick board.
  • Finish STL files for 3D parts and get them in the queue to be printed by the team.
  • Come up with concept for bling. Need to make sure that we incorporate the broken switches.
  • Need to get pots that fit in the XBox controllers (on order).
  • CAD of left and right front panel pieces (inside needs to be 1.5", which will give a 1.75" total thickness (1.5" of inside space plus 2 thickness of metal)
  • Copy the left panel panel to create a right panel.
  • Order pushbuttons and broken switches.
  • Left Panel
    • Create viewfinder 3D model
    • Finalize lever, generate 3D print files
    • Holes for four buttons
    • Holes for four button lights (need to determine diameter)
    • Add holes to attach viewfinder (need a 'thick' 3D)
    • Add cutouts for sliders (wide needs to match the handle)
    • Create viewfinder 3D holes
    • Add any lettering/cutouts on top edge
    • Consider PEM posts to hold in sliders (possibly above and below; would need to move slider cut outs down to be centered top-to-bottom) - Holes added for #6 studs FH-632-4ZI.
    • Consider PEM posts in lower/vertical section for PSOC perf board (just keep close together)  - Holes added for #6 studs FH-632-4ZI.
    • Add TBD cutout for wiring. - Added 0.5" mouse bites
    • Need to correct O letter extra (see Cameron)
    • Do drawings for model shop - REMEMBER TO ADD NOTES FOR PEMS and welds and where to fold in side for weld
    • Paint left panel
    • Mount light pipes - hot glue
    • Wire LEDs 
  • Final Assembly - Left Panel
    • Make diffusers for viewfinders and bling button lights
    • Glue LEDs to light pipes
    • Mount bling buttons (get color scheme from Cameron)
    • Make diffusers for viewfinders and bling button lights
      • need to skuff the bottom side, so it will diffuse the light
      • put LED against the lexan and test to make sure the light diffuses ok
      • once tested, hot glue diffusers
      • hot glue LEDs to diffusers (be sure to not cover holes for buttons and screws
    • Wire bling buttons (will connect to PSoC) - add pigtails to four of the buttons with two pin connectors
    • Mount viewfinders (after they are 3D printed)
    • Mount PSOC board
    • Mount the slider perf board (waiting on standoffs from Eric)
    • Mount the lever to the sliders
    • Final wiring and wire dressing.
  • PSoC
    • add more pins to PSoC
    • need perf board
    • add PSoC, so its reset button aligns with hole in vertical part of base
    • PIN OUT:
      • P0.0 LED signal for light strips (same as previous years)
      • P0.1 Upper left button (pin was used in previous years) [blue wire on 6 pin connector - pin 1]
      • P4.2 Upper right button (pin was used in previous years) [yellow wire on 6 pin connector - pin 2]
      • P0.2 Lower left button [red wire on 6 pin connector - pin 3]
      • P0.3 Lower right button [white wire on 6 pin connector - pin 4]
      • P3.7 Slider
    • add connectors for: LEDs, slider, buttons (6 pin; black is ground)
    • add LED wiring (capacitor, resister, etc)
    • router USB extension wire (gets connected directly to laptop, needs as much USB power as possible; new cable is in controls drawer)
  • Right Panel
    • Holes for switches
    • Holes for switch LEDs
    • Add any lettering/cutouts on top edge
    • Add TBD cutout for wiring. - Added 0.5" mouse bites
    • Consider PEM posts in lower/vertical section for broken switch board (similar to ones for PSOC perf board on left side) - Holes added for #6 studs FH-632-4ZI.
    • Do drawings for model shop - REMEMBER TO ADD NOTES FOR PEMS and welds and where to fold in side for weld
    • Paint right panel
    • Mount light pipes - hot glue
    • Wire LEDs

    • bling lights
    • view finder
    • NOTE: broken switch LEDs will be different as they will be wired with the switch
  • Determine perf board size we will need for sliders (it goes inside the panel to hold the sliders up against the top's underside) [needs to be 2.75" x 6.25"]
    • it needs cover the slider holes
    • needs to be 1/8" beyond the PEM holes that are above ane below the silders

    • add holes for PEMS
    • wire one slider (it will connect to PSoC)
  • Think of color scheme [will be all charcol gray, with black 3D printed parts https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-2X-12-oz-Satin-Charcoal-Gray-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-350373/308581515]
  • Pick or buy USB HUB 
    • look at the USB hubs we already have [will go with what we have, just need to pull it. there is a yellow lighting bolt in the 'shield' controls. there are 'X' ones in the drawer in the shop]
  • Look for handle
    • see what handles we already have (e.g. suit case handle or spring loaded one we have used in the past) you can look at prior year shoping list to find handles we have order before [seem to like the suit case handle we have leftover from prior year, need to confirm the mounting is doable (or find another to order). if we use the suit case one, then we will need a clip to hold the handle up against the laptop support so the controls can be placed on the drivers stations table]
    • looking at prior ones (before last year's) so we have a confortable handle
    • tenative plan is to mount to base behind laptop support [decided having on side was too 'wide' to be a comfortable carry, either mount directly to base of back of laptop support; not sure if laptop support can handle all the stress since it is thinner than the base and not a fully welded square]

Controls Rules

9.10 OPERATOR CONSOLE

R88. The DRIVER Station software provided by National Instruments (install instructions found here) is the only application permitted to specify and communicate the operating mode (i.e. Autonomous/Teleoperated) and operating state (Enable/Disable) to the ROBOT. The DRIVER Station software must be revision 20.0 or newer.

Teams are permitted to use a portable computing device of their choice (laptop computer, tablet, etc.) to host the DRIVER Station software while participating in competition MATCHES.

R89. The OPERATOR CONSOLE, the set of COMPONENTS and MECHANISMS used by the DRIVERS and/or HUMAN PLAYER to relay commands to the ROBOT, must include a graphic display to present the DRIVER Station diagnostic information. It must be positioned within the OPERATOR CONSOLE so that the screen display can be clearly seen during Inspection and in a MATCH.

R90. Devices hosting the DRIVER Station software must only interface with the Field Management System (FMS) via the Ethernet cable provided at the PLAYER STATION (e.g. not through a switch). Teams may connect the FMS Ethernet cable to their DRIVER Station device directly via an Ethernet pigtail, or with a single-port Ethernet converter (e.g. docking station, USB-Ethernet converter, 9 ROBOT Construction Rules V0 96 of 129 FIRST ® Robotics Competition Thunderbolt-Ethernet converter, etc.). The Ethernet port on the OPERATOR CONSOLE must be easily and quickly accessible.

Teams are strongly encouraged to use pigtails on the Ethernet port used to connect to the FMS. Such pigtails will reduce wear and tear on the device’s port and, with proper strain relief employed, will protect the port from accidental damage.

R91. The OPERATOR CONSOLE must not

A. be longer than 60 in. (~152 cm)

B. be deeper than 14 in. (~35 cm) (excluding any items that are held or worn by the DRIVERS during the MATCH)

C. extend more than 6 ft. 6 in. (~198 cm) above the floor

D. attach to the FIELD (except as permitted by G26)

There is a 54 in. (~137 cm) long by 2 in. (nominal) wide strip of hook-and-loop tape (“loop” side) along the center of the PLAYER STATION support shelf that should be used to secure the OPERATOR CONSOLE to the shelf, per G26. See PLAYER STATION for details.

Please note that while there is no hard weight limit, OPERATOR CONSOLES that weigh more than 30 lbs. (~13 kg.) will invite extra scrutiny as they are likely to present unsafe circumstances.

R92. Other than the system provided by the FIELD, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

Examples of prohibited wireless systems include, but are not limited to, active wireless network cards and Bluetooth devices. For the case of the FIRST Robotics Competition, a motion sensing input device (e.g. Microsoft Kinect) is not considered wireless communication and is allowed.

R93. OPERATOR CONSOLES shall not be made using hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with other DRIVE TEAMS or the operation of other ROBOTS.
