Motor Drivers

[yash101]

This is to continuously drive the motors. When the cRIO is busy with another task, it cannot output another signal to the Jaguar or Talon. Also, I wanted all sensors to be connected to this. The final output to the cRIO could be possibly: LEFT | RIGHT | BACK | FORW, and the driver input. I really like Parallax products because I find them robust, powerful, efficient and high quality. Parallax has a nice support team, even though they are such a small corporation. They are also quite resistant to some dangerous things like electrostatic discharge. For example, the cRIO could send this chip a command, like RETRIEVE [sensor name], for example, and the chip could give the data. Using a laser range finder, for example, would allow you to get an accurate distance from a point, like the goal in this year's challenge. The cRIO would only have to make the final decisions. Also, I could integrate a CAS into this chip so that when the cRIO needs to calculate large numbers, the coprocessor could do it. When there is only one processor doing a ton of work, the whole system becomes laggy. It is common about how the robot will stop in place while processing an image.
