2016 Inspection Checklist and Firmware revisions.

[tr6scott]

From the 2016 labview install I have the following firmwares installed for the Cross the Road components:

"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\PDP-Application-1.40.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\PDP-Application-1.40-EnableDurExtractWrkArnd.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\TalonSrx-Application-1.16-BoundsCheckAllowableClosedLoopErr.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\TalonSrx-Application-1.18.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\TalonSrx-Application-2.00.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\PCM-Application-1.65.crf"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC\PCM-Application-1.65-production.crf"

The Inspection list shows the following revs to be applied.

Firmware Versions – Software/firmware for devices is at or above listed versions below:
 Driver Station – 16.0.1 <R91> 
 Jaguars – V109 <R70>
 roboRIO (Image - FRC_2016_v19 and Firmware – v3.0.0) <R56> 
 PCM – 1.62 <R71>
 Talon SRX – V1.01 (cannot be greater than V10.0) <R70> 
 PDP – 1.37 <R72>

So what firmware are we to be applying to this hardware?

According to the FRC Screensteps, the current revision is not always the minimum required revision. It's probably beneficial to go ahead and update all of your hardware now in case the requirements are updated in a TU down the road (I'd expect it) but you just need the minimum requirements to get through inspection.

Inspection versions are minimum. I've heard of some problems with low talon versions and PID control.

Thank You!

Should read fine print, minimum versions.!
