Looks pretty slick. Does this interface with regular SolidWorks?

Re: pic: SolidWorks Electrical KOP - Beta

We're just at the start of the learning curve - our electrical team is particuarly CAD-deficient - and find the curve to be not as steep as expected.

More soon, but what I am tasking electrical with is to stake out their space on the robot, so the mechanical gorillas can use their stone knives and axes to beat their mechanisms into some functional shape without touching our stuff...

Yes. SolidWorks Electrical interfaces with SolidWorks bidirectional.

SolidWorks Electrical Schematic 2D can run independently.

You need to install SolidWorks Electrical separate serial number.

Teaching basics in schematic layout is a good place to start. Lines and symbols are very smart. This is really 80% a 2d word which is hard for a SolidWorks user to say.

The challenge is you need to know all the pinout from the 2D symbol or it won't route correctly into 3D. This has been a challenge for us. We should have purchased a kit.

Please remind them not to bury the D-Link router deep in the robot. Have them find a place up high where its radio antennas won't be bothered by proximity to the cRIO, battery, speed controllers, 12v-to-5v converter, motors, or metal framing.

Re: pic: SolidWorks Electrical KOP - Beta

One of our electrical engineers asked if the current layout of the kitbot would produce noise. I'm not certain if the DLink is too close to other NI components.

Re: pic: SolidWorks Electrical KOP - Beta

When the rookies put together our KOP base, they wedged the router between the sheet-metal frame and the battery. Not so good to place your antenna up against 13lbs of lead

Re: pic: SolidWorks Electrical KOP - Beta

I can't be the only one confused about the wire running straight through the 40-amp breakers, can I?

Anyway, I look forward to using SolidWorks Electrical next year. It seemed like a bit too much to learn in too little time for this year.

Nah. It's blue, so it cannot be a current carrying wire ...

Looks awesome!

You noticed that and you didn't notice the missing Anderson Connectors on the battery leads?

I'd be more worried about it being next to the Jaguars and that big hunk of lead (battery).

Or one or more CIM motors.
