Overall concept

The two driver controls will be XBOX controls.

There will be 7 broken switches.

The top of the controls is in the shape of a heater shield. The entire top/shield is detached (no flip up sections); held on with magnets. This allows the shield to be held by the coach/spy during the match. The marketing team will provide the graphic for the shield.

The base will have a strap so driver can carry the entire controls on their back.

RTENOTITLE Assembly 5.PNG Assembly Colors.PNG


Green - Plates for magnets

Red - laptop

Silver - laptop bracket with holes for broken switches

Blue - XBOX controllers nested together

Dark Blue - Ethernet Bracket (currently interfering with the controllers, working on fixing)

Yellow - Lightning bolt USB hub

Todo

Misc

  • Update SW on the laptop, Jeff has the stuff on a thumb drive and offered to do it if we aren't doing anything special.
  • Map out I/O
  • VERIFY THAT THE XBOX CONTROLLERS WORK, there have been reports that at least one of them is unrealible.

Dashboard:

  • Come up with ideas for dashboard layout and controls (look at minutes from our mtg with strategy on 1/30)
  • Camera feed if we have cameras
  • Position of breacher arm

Lights (lower priority than robot side programming and dashboard)

  • USB can do 8 lights full white brigthness; 25 if just one color on full brightness
  • 25 lights needed to do just the letters on the front
  • using USB for lights 

Horipad Driver Install

Get Driver

Microsoft instructions: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

Follow Windows 7 steps under: Download and install Xbox One Controller driver

You must use Internet Explorer

Get the one called "Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Xbox One Controller" that is for AMD64 (i.e. 64-bit).

If 7-zip is on the PC, use that to expand the contents of the .CAB file.

Install - First Controller on the PC

Plug in control

It will not find one anywhere, so you can tell open the New Hardware wizard and click 'Skip Searching Windows Update'; otherwise you will be waiting forever.

Open Windows' Device Manager; find the Horipad controller; right-click and select 'Update Driver'; then browse to the folder where you unzipped the .CAB file.

It will take a while to install (this is another point where you can tell it to 'Skip Searching Windows Update'.

Once the Gamepad is done, it will then search for a HID driver. Not sure if 'Skip' can be used in this case, so let it finish on its own.

NOTE: if driver fails with error 37, then the problem is that the wdfcoinstaller01011.dll is not in the C:\windows\system32. the installer copies it to c:\windows\system32\driver instead. so copy wdfcoinstaller01011.dll from c:\windows\system32\driver to c:\windows\system32

Install - Second Controller on the PC

Plug in control

Since you have the driver already installed, you can open the New Hardware wizard and click 'Skip Searching Windows Update' for the gamepad.

It will then install the HID portion, again you can 'Skip Searching Windows Update'.

PSoC Install (for lights)

PSoC Creator IDE

Download latest "PSoC Creator" from Cypress (http://www.cypress.com/products/psoc-creator-integrated-design-environment-ide) and install it (use Typical install; at end run Updater and maek sure you have the latest stuff)

For user name and password, you can use: mailme@mailinator.com mailme123

Toolkits and Board Driver Install

Get controls2016 from SVN

Run: vcredist_x86.exe

Run: USBSerialSDKSetup.exe (do Typical install; at end run Updater and maek sure you have the latest stuff)

Run: CY8CKIT04942xxSetupOnlyPackage_revSA.exe ()do Typical install; at end run Updater and maek sure you have the latest stuff)

While you press and hold the SW1 Prog button on the cypress board, plug in the USB cable to the PC (it will take a while for it to install 5 drivers).

Build/Program

Open PSoC Creator (Start -> Programs -> Cypress -> PSoC Creator -> PSoC Creator)

Open project: File -> Open -> Project/Workspace; then browse to FRC2016/controls2016/SCB_Bootloader/SCB_Bootloader.cywrk)

Build project: Build -> Build All Projects

While you press and hold the SW1 Prog button on the cypress board, plug in the USB cable to the PC

Download Boot Loader:

  • open programmer: Tools -> Bootloader Host
  • set 'File' to C:\Users\Robotics\Desktop\FRC2016\controls2016\SCB_Bootloader\Bootloadable Blinking LED.cydsn\CortexM0\ARM_GCC_493\Debug\Bootloadable Blinking LED.cyacd
  • select the com port for the cypress board
  • set Baud to 115200; Data Bits 8; Stop Bits 1; Parity None
  • download program: Actions -> Program

Meeting Minutes

Update 1/19/2016

Present: Eric, Andrew, Ethan, Zach, Ryan, Jeff

Completed:

  • Created a model of the laptop power brick
  • Created a model for the Cypress board
  • Eric did a little research on the Cypress board. It turns out you can use the debugger half as it's own board and write your own applications for it. It has a USB interface and the debugger implements a HID so we should be able to use it for a HID, probably needs a little more research and evaluation.
  • Picked the shield strap, we will reuse last years because it is awesome.
    • Put new strap "knobs" on the shopping list.
  • Determined that we will do nylon straps on the shield. Will custom fabricate them at a later date.
    • Created holes in the shield for these straps, locations are correct but we need PEMs instead of holes because they will look better.
  • Picked the approach for attaching the shield to the box. We will use cabinet magnets on each of the corners of the box and corrosponding metal plates mounted on the shield.
  • Finished and submitted the drawing for the laptop holder.
  • Started a drawing for the shield, see the Todo list for what needs to be finished.
  • Picked the retractable cord and put it on the shopping list. We will just retract it from inside the box. We picked the one we did because it was the longest. We may still need to hack on an end if we need multiple outlets and to add length.
  • Created part numbers for the three parts (laptop holder, shield, base) on the parts fabrication spreadsheet.

Update 1/20/2016

Present: Andrew, Ethan, Zach, Ryan, Mr. Byers

Completed:

  • Picked cabinet magnets
  • Decided on PEM stud:
    • FH-832-5ZI
    • Thread Size: .164-32 (#8-32)
    • Hole Size: .163 '± .003'​'​​
  • ​Updated top of shield and PEM holes
  • Decided ethernet mount and started creation of bracket in CAD

Update 1/21/2016

Present: Andrew, Ryan, Jeff, Mr. Byers, Eric

Completed:

  • Correct (hopefully) drawing of the laptop base submitted.
  • Continued work on the Ethernet bracket.
  • Created model of the magnetic door latch.
  • Added magnetic door latch model to the controls assembly.
  • Created and placed brackets in the assembly to mate with the magnetic door latch.

Update 1/23/2016

Present: Andrew, Ryan, Eric, Zach, Ethan, Jeff, Mr. Byers 

Completed:

  • Decided on PEM stud:
    • Hole Size: .163 ± .003\
    • Thread Size: .164-32 (#8-32)
    • FH-832-5ZI
  • Finalize the placement of the magenetic bracket and steel plates.
  • ​Add PEM studs for the steel plates in each corner of the shield to match up with the drawer magnets that are in the base
    • ​This involves creating the steel plates which Eric thinks we should fabricate to be a bit thicker than the normal plates to give some extra holding power and alignment and have two screw holes.
  • ​Finished drawings of laptop holder, shield, ethernet brachet and submitted them to Amy
  • Looked at boards for lights/HID:
    • PSoC 4 - could not find any HID samples; found them for PSoC3 & 5
    • XMC1200/1300 - could not find any HID samples; they have some for XMC4400/XMC4500

Update 1/24/16

Present: Andrew, Zach, Ethan, Jeff, Mr. Byers

Completed:

  • Added holes into base for magnetic cabinet latches
  • Confirmed position of e-net bracket

  • Add #8 screw holes on the corners of the base for the guitar strap knobs
  • USB hub: location; mounting (use velcro)
  • Positioned power brick and XBOX controls
