Re: Tips from a veteran Robot Inspector

Al et al,

I noticed a problem with the inspection checklist linked above, and I'm not sure how to report it, so I figured I'd kick it up to you and Wayne.

Under the custom circuits section of the electrical checklist, it says:
Quote:
Custom Circuits, Sensors and Additional Electronics - may not connect to the cRIO’s serial or Ethernet 2 ports (except
in compliance with R53.B), cannot directly control speed controllers, relays, actuators or servos,.. <R47, R59-62, R65>
Rule R65 actually says:
Quote:
All outputs from sensors, custom circuits and additional electronics shall connect to only the following:
...
E. the RS-232 DB-9 RS-232 port on the cRIO,
...
Probably something that will be fixed before week 1, but it does seem significant.
