Re: 2005 electrical diagram
Its basically the same as last year (keep in mind I'm of mechanical origin, so I may be wrong). This is my 4th year doing this and from what I've read the only major changes are the new camera sensor bundle with its own servo outputs for tilt/pan and the like, and a new "smart" breaker panel. there is a spot on the robot interface for the camera sensors it looks like, there is a new set of 4 pins labeled as the ttl serial port to use with an adapter to connect he calera, and the smart breaker panel connects via db9 serial cable into the programing port of the RI to feed data back to the dashboard about which breakers are tripping, or have tripped. I'm not sure of any other changes, but I don't think there are many besides the ones above. Check out IFI's website, they have a pretty nice overview of this years electrical system.

Re: 2005 electrical diagram
There is no 40 amp breaker panel. All breakers are planned into the new IFI breaker panel. From first look, IFI has another winning design. The only downside if this is the only distro that can be used, there can be no split breaker panels. (i.e. one for each side of the robot.)

Re: 2005 electrical diagram
Matt, from the pictures I have seen, you are right, the 40 amp breakers are on the very top. I see what Al is saying though, in the past we have had our 40 amp breaker panal and are other breaker panal in differant locations. This year however it looks like we will be dealing with one central MDP. I like the new design, and I don't forsee many problems due to the consolidation of the two panals in to one. I like the added features such as a data relay to the operator interface that allows for program critiques and design cretiques. You'll know which breaker is tripping and when, which I can see as being a good thing to know, while we have done fine without it in the past, I think it will make it easier for certain troubleshooting events. I like the idea of a status led as well, and I'm looking foward to testing out the new hardware.

Re: 2005 electrical diagram
So I am guessing that nobody knows where the power distribution diagram is? Reason is because it helps a lot for rookies even if there very slight changes from last year's diagram.

Re: 2005 electrical diagram
Rookie teams, or teams that want to brush up on the electrical side of things should check out this:
http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Man...idelines_C.pdf starting on the bottom of page 13. There is also some rules in section 5 of the manual pertaining to the electrical system. http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Sec...-The_Robot.pdf The rules start on page 19. I have a feeling that I am missing a bigger electrical section somewhere, In past years the section was large, and full of large diagrams, and I really haven't seen that yet this year, but I'm sure they are to come, or may already be tucked away in the manual for us to discover. |
