Re: Keeping an updated log of electrical team progress

A simple spreadsheet that is shared among all the robot sub teams is the best. Ours shows each motor, PWM output, type of breaker, a color assignment for wire marking and it's use and position on the robot. All electrical parts are added below the motors so that electrical knows what function is being assigned in software and mechanical knows what it is being used for.
