Very nice. May I ask how you manage PWM lengths? Are they custom made or do you just hide the extra cable very well?

Hehe, I like the battery box filled with several hundred dollars worth of modules :D

Re: pic: 1538 Wiring 2/4/2013
This is very impressive, Great job! How did you guys manage labelling wires?

Edit:Moral of the story: Label everything! Especially the little cables to festos. When you have 6 festos and 2 breakouts things get real hairy real fast if they aren't labeled |

Awesome job! The neatness of the wiring is great. Not everyone understands the vaue of it but in the real (working) world where someone is paying for a wiring job that is what they want to see. One sugestion: we have started using wire duct, McMaster Carr P/N 75835K74. It takes up some space but it makes wiring and changing soooo much easier. It eliminates the need for custom PWM cables. I would also highly recommend labeling the wires. Our labels are determined by the line number that they start at on our schematic so they can be easily found there. This is helpful also when you have some components far away from the electrical panel.
One question: How are you isolating the C-Rio? We use Lexan but yous seams to be mounted on aluminum. |

Your wiring is awesome! Even when we spent a good week planning our board and wire routing it still wasn't that neat and we ended up with bundled wires. The metal you used for the board looks like a nice alternative to polycarb and having to drill holes.

I'm not a huge fan of labeling where it isn't necessary, especially in our application. As Connor mentioned, cables are neatly ziptied and cut to length. At the San Diego Regional, we happened to have a metal shaving short out our digital side car, meriting a complete replacement. The digital sidecar was replaced and tested in under 2 minutes. Not many teams can replace a fully loaded DSC in that time even if it were labeled. It's just personal preference. |
Re: pic: 1538 Wiring 2/4/2013
I count 12 motor controllers, but there are only 10 PWMs in the digital sidecar. Are you running two controllers from the same PWM?
I love the neatness. How do you keep it neat when you use light sensors and solenoids? |

What 1/16" rubber adhesive backed rubber sheet do you use? We bought a roll of Bump-On from McMaster-Carr this season, and the stuff costs a fortune.

Any chance you could post a pic of the finished board?
I'll probably be by at Championship to check it out anyway, but I'd like to show it to my team as an example of proper wiring. (Our electronics boards tend to end up looking like a bowl of multi-colored spaghetti) |
Re: pic: 1538 Wiring 2/4/2013
What type of aluminum are you using for your board? Is there a specific reason for that shape of lightening patern?
This makes me cry a little inside, because compared to our electronics board, this is perfection... |
