Electrical Controls Design

Overview

  • use actual items from each of the previous year's controls (see 1/12/14 notes)
  • use some aspects of prior year's color schemes (TBD)
  • no lights for the broken switches (not many switches will be used and they have an on/off tag built into them)
  • 'underglow': will come out the letter cutouts
  • speakers (TBD)

Setup Dialog (TBD) Team Number Numberbox Sets the team number for the robot to set the camera feed. Should remain constant until we change the IP address of the robot. Should not change very much. n/a n/a


Todo

  • get paper sketch into inventor
  • decide if gear button is a 'normal' one or a push-pot
  • determine what will be used to map the buttons to a joystick
  • number of broken switches (with hip check can only have 5; but if hip check is handled within controls, we can have a 6th broken switch)
  • how will underglow be controlled
  • complete the parts list
  • how to attach hinges (need to stay within 14" depth)
  • decide if backpack straps are needed
  • talk about color scheme


Parts List (TBD)

Description Part# Order/Take From Notes
E-net port
Power port
Joysticks (TBD)
Push Pot(TBD) might want two (one for manual shoot and one for gear)

hinges from controls hinges for the lids
'06 Roflbot lexicon from controls behind cut out letters and shine underglow throw it
silver knob from controls knob for extra pot
'07 Aracnaphobia broken switches
missile switch
joystick aux driver joystick
'08 Mach 1511 missile swtich
broken switches broken switches
'09 ThunderPlucker handle
Ethernet port
dull 3-way switch autonomous selection
coin button hip check button
'10 ThunderFoot handle handle
'11 ThunderusPrime hand painted tanks TBD
robot USB hub usb hub
3 position switch

'13 ThunderPrise latches
4th joystick circuit board
driver joysticks driver joysticks


Mtg Minutes (with Strategy)

  • aux joystick:
    • Y axis for intake
    • trigger roller in
    • 'thumb' button roller out
    • 'top' button for fast roller out
  • big button for high goal kick (gear)
  • button for truss kick (lightning bolt)
  • manual shoot power (pick one of the following:
    • launch button [auto vs man kick]
    • slider w/button for manual kick power
    • a pot with gear for the knob
  • 3 position switch for autonomous selection (none, 1 ball, 2 ball)
  • light on intake side & smartdashboard when intake is fully up
  • light on intake side, shooting side & smartdashboard when ball is acquired (not on ground)
