Re: Replacement robot controller for cRIO

To make it really simple, you could also use a vex signal splitter. It's cheap and does the job.

I just started looking into all the different Turnigy options. These are especially attractive because they eliminate the need for a laptop and drivers station setup and appear to have some additional non-drive capabilities (like telling the shooter to run, controlling the compressor, etc). Can anyone with Turnigy experience comment on this and perhaps post an example of a recommended setup for an FRC robot? Our use, like many other teams, would be in keeping old robots "alive" with perhaps reduced functionality so that we can use the expensive cRIO hardware for more important projects.

The Turnigy receivers only output pwm signals so they will only control Talons and Jaguars (victor 884s and 883s are incompatible. We have not tested the 888s)

They will not run a solenoid without one of these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=8833

Here's a very scientific schematic made in ms paint

Feel free to ask any questions.
