Re: pic: IR Sensor on a Vex Robot!!

That is amazing! After all the threads ive seen about not being able to get the board to work in the first place, you guys actually managed to rig it up to vex robot? I am in awe. Now I cant wait to get in to use ours!

Re: pic: IR Sensor on a Vex Robot!!

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

Thank you very much.
I am a strong believer that just about anything you want to do in FRC can be prototyped in Vex.

Now you have a working code base to use as a model to build code after Kick Off.
Sweet!!

Re: pic: IR Sensor on a Vex Robot!!

How did you attach the board?
details on which one the ground ends up in (black orange white)
and where the signal wires go?

The IR board itself is just Velcroed to the top of the vex controller. The wires coming from pins 5-8 on the IR board are going to the inner pin of 4 digital IO ports on the vex controller. The inner pin is always for the signal line, normally a white wire, though we made ours yellow. The power line is not used, and the ground reference was already the same because we powered the Vex controller and the IR board off of the same battery.

Re: pic: IR Sensor on a Vex Robot!!

So my hypothesis was correct.

A lot of people were asking about how to hook it up to the big robot.

So you just wire up spare PWM's (white wire) and use the outputs as regular sensors.

Re: pic: IR Sensor on a Vex Robot!!

so basically for inputting this into a pwm on the rc we'd just use the signal wire? only 1?
i'm mech too lol

You can use just the 1 signal wire if you have a common ground between the IR board and the RC, which we did because we used the same battery to power both devices. This will most likely be the case on your FIRST robot as well.

I'm actually a college student majoring in mechanical engineering, but I do know a bit of electrical stuff, hopefully I explained that well enough.
