New Control System Presentation

[Kevin Selavko]

I made this presentation on the new control system for our local kickoff today, but there was ice rain so I was unable to attend.
I still want to share it, so I will show it to you for your viewing pleasure:

Great presentation! Thanks for sharing. Some of the links were very helpful for us.

Hey, I have a question for you- do the CAN buses on this year's components have any directionality? The reason I'm asking is that none of the CAN buses have input or output sides specifically labelled- also I've seen that on another team's presentation, they terminated the CAN system in the PDP in adifferent set of ports than on the official wiring diagram.

The information i have leads me to believe that the CAN bus's directionality regarding I/o will not change anything, but I still wanted to make sure.

One last question- if you're not terminating the CAN in the PDP, terminating the signal is a matter of wiring a 180ohm+ resistor into the final socket, correct?

As described in the wiring document, there is no specific in or out on the PDP or PCM.

It should be 120ohm exactly not 180+
