Here is our electrical panel for the 2015 competition season. Current features of this panel include:
- 12 Talon SRX Motor Controllers
--- All Talons are mounted on the same side of the robot to allow for complete access without moving around the robot.
- Wireway with covers
--- Serves to hide wire clutter and keep debris/parts from falling into the wiring
--- The Talon CAN ID's and circuit numbers are laser engraved upon the Wireway covers next to the corresponding Talon, making troubleshooting much easier.
- Custom 3-D printed D-Link bracket
--- Not only does it hold the D-Link at a specified angle, but it also conceals and protects the gyro hidden beneath!
The notable features that will be finalized this week are:
- More wireway engraving
--- The left column of wireway will list which motor each Talon is controlling.
- Custom breakout boards for the Talons!
--- These mount directly onto the Talons (using the same screw holes as the connector's guard) to allow for easy, and modular, input from encoders and limit switches.
