pic: FRC Control System in a box

[Avrum Goldman]

I have been working on a pneumatics test stand (you can see my thread in the pneumatics forum). At present it is a complete stand-alone system that functions without the robot control system. I would be interested in discussing with you how to combine the two concepts:

1) Stand-alone fully functional control system
2) Stand-alone fully functional pneumatics system
3) Link to match them up

This would give a great learning and prototyping tool for trying out new concepts and hardware in a controlled environment!

Our current plan is to wire up a quick disconnect terminal to the pneumatic break out and mount thru the wall of the box with the control system in it similar to how we have the encoder's wired. We then will make an identical connector in the pneumatic box but wired to the solenoids instead of the breakout.

We will then make a wire connecting the terminal on each box and another one from the pneumatic box to a panel of switches that will be 3d printed

We made on of these a few years ago: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35144

They are really nice. Also lets you test your code before putting it on the robot at competition.
