Keeping an updated log of electrical team progress

[DavidB]

My question is what ways do you use to keep your team up to date as to what is connected in you control system. Since the electrical team can't be there all the time what quick ways have you found to be the best to keep the rest of the team informed as to what is connected. For example, say you t electrical team isn't there but the programming team wants to test some of the sensors etc. Instead of having to examine the robot and follow each connection what techniques would you recommend for keeping a quick reference as to what is connected.

Here are some of my ideas:

1. Keep a printable diagram showing all the parts, but having no connections. Therefore all you have to do is when your done for the day is print it out and quickly draw the wires etc.

2. Keep a printable checksheet of all the connections so you can simply check off what is connected to what. For example cRio to Digital Sidecar 1. and put a checkbox.

These are some of the ideas I had, but I'm looking for suggestions since I have little experience in this area. Thank you for any help you can provide.
