Re: [Rookie] How to set up electrical the best way?
Here is our software development bot. It is in a smaller footprint than the competition robot so it is less intimating when testing software. We are trying Jaguars for the first time and we made a backbone CAN bus (not daisy chain so it won't have the problem of one Jag dies, all down stream jags will fail) using RJ-12 connectors. The bus is pretty much two twisted-pair wires punchdown to 4 RJ-12 connectors. Also notice the Anderson connectors for motor power and RJ-11 connectors for the encoders. So unplugging all motor power and encoder cables will allow us to separate the electronics from the frame cleanly.
