Jan. 12, 2010 6:00-10:00


Accomplished:

 Electrical and Programming Equipment removed from Kit

 Tested New C-rio via Hyperterminal echo response

 Verified that the new C-rio works


In Progress:

 

To be completed Tomorrow:

1.  Start working on the Mock Electrical board.  Interface the following:

  • 4 Jaguar Speed Controllers
  • 1 Digital Side Car
  • 1 Analog interface port
  • All associated power connections

2.  Determine some absolute positional sensor options (digital pots, hall effect, potentiometers, etc).

3.  Determine (with the help of programming) if we should use the CAN interface or the PWM interface.

4.  Connectors needed?  RJ-type connectors for CAN bus?  PWM connectors?  Give QTY and Part Numbers/Links (Digikey is a decent reference).

 

Attending Tomorrow:

 

Materials Needed:


Other Notes:

To connect the cRIO via the RS-232 port, one must use a NULL Modem cable
