Do not use this cable as-is.

We need something new.

Robot Hardware / Ribbon cable that services the...
Last post by Louis L - February 13, 2018, 10:11:36 PM
There's a single ribbon cable that runs from the gripper end all the way to the logic board. It has 13 wires. One edge is painted black - that's the index for wire 1.

There are 9 limit switches along the length of the run. These are divided into 3 groups. Each group shares a common ground signal.

Here's the wire definition for the 13 signals on the ribbon cable, grouped.

1 Ground
2 Cube touch DIO-0
3 Wrist down reverse
4 Wrist up forward
5 Gripper closed reverse
6 Gripper open forward
7 Climber DIO-4

8 Ground
9 extension limit far reverse
10 extension limit near forward

11 Ground
12 arm rotation limit up reverse
13 arm rotation limit down forward

- First thing once we get the hardware is to try the wiring using the livewindow. Once we know the sensors and actuators are connected to the right places we can move on to try the actual software.

- Add all basic commands to SmartDashboard. The idea is that when we get the hardware we can make sure the commands are accessing the right sensors and motors. Try each command in isolation before joystick and controllers

Climber

  • Check if cube is flushed, intake is raised, arm is raised, and claw is moved before robot begins to climb
  • Check if climber is extended if rung is detected and setup is complete
  • Check if robot returns message "Rung not detected" if rung is not detected, but setup is complete
  • Check if arm is extended and robot climbs after all requirements are fulfilled
  • Check if climber sonar distance is shown on the Smart Dashboard

Intake

  • Check to make sure intake can be flushed by pressing button 8 on the right joystick
  • Check to see if the left trigger on the Xbox controller allows the intake motors to run at different speeds
  • Check if intake lowers after timeout
  • Check to see if intake raises
  • Check to make sure arm is moved, intake is lowered, and cube is grabbed when right trigger (on Xbox controller) is pressed

    •       
    • Have 1 Spare Already
    • Currently being used in 2 places on the robot

      •          
      • Number of places being used might increase

        •             
        • Claw might need more torque
        • Very versatile, so it won't be surprising of they are used somewhere else
    • Need to get 2 more

      • Just in case

We have enough snowblower and bosch seat motors. No need to get any more.
