Re: NI roboRIO
As an Alpha test team, I can provide a few details of the new PCM for 2015.
First, it goes on the CAN bus, and is extremely easy to hook up - the connectors are very easy to use (compared to the fairly difficult ones on the Jaguars). This also means that you can daisy-chain several of them together.
The PCM has specific ports built in for the compressor and pressure switch. I am hopeful this will eliminate problems teams have had getting the compressor working correctly.
Finally, there is a jumper on the PCM that lets you switch between 12V and 24V. This is for the whole module - if you have both 12V and 24V pneumatics, you'll need to use two PCMs, one for 12V and the second for 24V.
