Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
Sorry to crash the party, but does anyone have a link to an ethernet switch that is actually reasonably smaller than the original D-Link? Not much of a... net gain (badum tish) in real estate if the new system takes up... you know... MORE space.

This assumes that the 2016 rules permit a network switch between the radio and the roboRIO. I can imagine being required to have them connected directly with no intervening devices. |

Here is another POE injector. It is small, but not a switch, so you gain very little. It is just an easy way to get power into the Ethernet.

It also runs on 5v. Last edited by marshall : 13-10-2015 at 13:15. |

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
My company and I are currently in the process of designing and prototyping such a switch. The goal is to have something with the smallest possible footprint/weight as possible, have 2-4 ports, and possibly also be a POE injector. As it progresses I'll post updates on here, although it won't be move to production until the rules are released and certain requirements/restrictions are laid out.

You realize rules will not be posted until kickoff? A direct conversation with First might be in order.

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
Why not buy a decent 5 port switch for $20 and call it a day? It's in a metal box, has lights, is well built inside (I've used these before) and has a very small footprint.

It also requires 7.5v, so some extra power work would be required to integrate it onto a robot. Last edited by Mark McLeod : 15-10-2015 at 08:51. |

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
I have one also I looked at the wall wart power unit and mine says 5 volts on it.
Sorry about the weight, I like them because they are really built well. I had forgotten that teams struggle with weight limits. |

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
The one you linked is a 7.5v model, so teams just need to be careful of that when spec'ing one out.

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison
In the game manual for 2016 Stronghold the use of Open Mesh OM5P-AN is required. However they continue to mention using the extra ports like the switch in the old D-Link DAP1522/DAP825 provided after that.
Does anyone know if adding an Ethernet switch to the robot is legal in 2016? I am picking on this topic because it went directly into adding a switch into the robot at the end of 2015 before Kickoff. |
