CAD Drawings for the cRIO-FRC

Nice stuff, any chance that all the other files will be uploaded. Such as the distro block and the driver station. I know the jaguar is uploaded on their site. Thanks NI for the support, love the new controller.

I'm going to get started with my mounting board. I still need the distro block, sidecars, and wireless adaptor. If anyone has them (or even just the mounting hole location on relation to the sides), they would be much appreciated.

thanks, Vivek

See my post above. The PDF link has the mounting hole dimensions for the power board and sidecar.

Ah, thank you. I even had it downloaded already. I hope I use up all of my stupid reserves before build season.

Well, I made some dummy files for the sidecar and the power distribution board.

We have been cadding away in our lab, and we have the PD board, the DSC, and the wireless bridge almost entirely done. Once they are finalized and checked, I will post a zip here. We will most likely also do the breakout boards and the cRIO modules since they aren't included in the cRIO CAD. Are there any quick requests, I'll be monitoring while we work tomorrow? Check back tomorrow evening for at least the DSC, PD, and Wireless files.

Oh, and we use Solid Works, but I know not everyone does. What file types would be best to include to make everyone happy? .IGES and .SLDPRT will definitely be included, but are there any others that Solid Works can save to that would be convenient for others?

A STEP file would probably be easiest.

STEP and IGES are probably the most common universal CAD files.

I have the cRIO-FRC and the I/O modules nearly done. I expect to post them in the FirstCadLibrary on Thursday evening. I do everything in Inventor and export to IGES, ACIS, and STEP.

[kbaker159]

Ok, here I have a zip of the following files, each with .sldasm (with the part files too) .igs, and .step. The solidworks files are 2008, I'm going to try to figure out how to make them 2007 soon.

cRIO modules
Wireless Bridge
Digital Sidecar
Power Distribution Board

All holes should be in the correct place, for the PD and DSC we used the drawings in Ch. 3 to make them. I can personally guarantee those to be correct.

Ed, would you like to use the PD and DSC files for the database or would you prefer to make them or get them from somewhere else?

Hope these help everyone in their CAD next year!

cRio's up on FIRST CAD library.

Wow it's detailed. Good job Mr. Sparks!

[Ed Sparks]

The cRIO and the I/O modules are now available on the FirstCadLibrary. Click on the "What's new" link or go to the "Electrical" Library.

The Inventor model is weight accurate and detailed.

[kbaker159]

Really detailed, much better than what I put together there. Great model! Thanks Ed.

I don't believe that there is any way to convert solidworks files to earlier versions.

If you create an account at www.3dcontentcentral.com, you can upload a 2008 SolidWorks model file and then eveyone would be able to download it as a 2007 model file or 2008 model file format. Use the "FIRST Robotics" category.

If you want to use the STEP files in SolidWorks, select STEP for Filetype on Open.

Use Tools, Mass Properties. Check the Assign Mass Properties box to enter the total mass of your assembly.
