Certainly we have some more work to do. I appreciate all the feedback. Keep it coming.

It's very tight on the kitbot. Wire looks so much smaller when it is a line on a schematic.

We are trying to get all the connectors and the components right for the SolidWorks Electrical KOP. So many pins, so many connectors.

Don't fret much about it. It looks like some awesome stuff. I can't wait to try it out.

Thank you for comment. I am used to dealing with robots that have control boxes - but I am learning all the fun parts to the FRC Control system.

The process to download and install SolidWorks Electrical is a bit more complicated than SolidWorks.

Install SolidWorks first. 1 serial number installs SolidWorks, Simulation, PhotoView 360, SolidWorks Motion, CircuitWorks (imports IDF, PADS).

With SolidWorks Electrical, follow the download instructions in the email. We are providing SolidWorks Electrical through a secure file transfer site. You are sent the username and password and number of activations.

Once installed, there will be 2 icons on your desktop, one for SolidWorks Electrical Schematic and one for SolidWorks (the one you know and love).

When you install SolidWorks Electrical, an Add In becomes available inside of your SolidWorks. You must Add In SolidWorks Electrical 3D to SolidWorks.

Control Systems single line and multiline schematics start with SolidWorks Electrical Schematic, not SolidWorks.
