cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
Hello! I've been looking at the new cRIO for 2015 (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30419) and it seems to me (according to the picture) that the Digital Sidecar and the cRIO are now combined. Is this true? Thanks!

Yes, the digital sidecar and the cRIO are now combined. I am surprised however that the roboRIO only has 4 analog ports. Can someone elaborate on that?

Yes this is true. At the Waterford district competition, I was able to see a test robot that 1718 made for the 2015 control system. I believe there's also a new PD board, and an extra smaller board for pneumatic solenoids.

Thanks to everyone sho stopped by and let us know your questions. |
Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
A new RoboRIO board will cost less than $450 to purchase. That's fantastic.

Any truth to the talk that you can get the new RobotRIO in the fall, and then it will not be in the KOPs. If yes, how is that controlled cost-wise.
Also does anyone know how the software framework will change to support the new hardware? |

Java and C++ will use Eclipse. Libraries will stay much the same. Check out the thread titled CRIOIII. It answers a lot of questions. |

I, personally, am scared to see how many teams will decide to plug the RoboRIO into the old PDB. It has the same connector as the FRC CRIO II, however it takes 12v instead of 24v. Old PDB+RoboRIO = Death. |

The new system uses a Wieldmuller push-in type connector on the PD Panel for cRIO power(and for CAN for that matter). This connector is built-in and simply allows you to insert stripped wire. A spring contact hold the wire in place. The RoboRio still has the same 2-pin Combicon connector as the current 4-slot cRIOII for power. While it is still possible to connect any voltage source to the RoboRio, including but not limited to the old PD board, it would be hard for teams to do this by mistake. If they do do this, it will not be because they were following any official instructions. Hope this helps, Kevin |
