The only thing that puzzles me is the camera TTL converter cable going into the censored area, but I suppose it oculd exit along the bottom just as easily.

Very nice, but no, thats not it. too many switches and my thing doens't control autonomous

However we do have a autonomous selecter on our OI Station. We used it last year when i was on programming, but i don't know if there using it this year... i think so though.

Rats! I guess I'll give up for now.

At least I can infer that it has several switches on it, right?

I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not whats under the censor box but maybe somewhere else...

Howd you know?

Note the homophony(homonymity?) in "CENSOR" box

lol... i actually was wondering would anyone would say anything but nope, no relation to "sensors" lol. If thats what you ment, i don't know, me and big words, or medium words, lol, don't mix, give me a computer or an electronics board, then i am good

Sweet board! I love it!

[roboticsguy1988]

Those electrical schematics and the true picture are going to be running a bit late as i had some things come up recently.

Actually the censored banner is just that, a banner. There is nothing under it
Pay no mind to that box behind, errr...I mean under the curtain

[keagara]

i think that it looks very clean and neat

[sgsdragons]

So are you going to tell us what it is??? PLEASE DO!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious to see what's behind the censored block, but overall, great job guys. I didn't think wiring that clean was possible.

Yeah sorry guys, we are running a bit behind our planned schedule so i am trying to catch up. I need to finish some stuff for the robot and then i will type up a small explanation and attach a picture of whats under the censored box. Electrical diagrams will come a bit later...

I apologize once again.

[roboticsguy1988]

Sorry it took so long, i will explain this real quick before going to bed.

The box on the board is just a conjunction box taking the program, the breaker panel, the tether, the camera TTL, and the remote Rest and Program buttons and putting them into a DB25 cable. There is a switch on the box to go from Programming mode and feedback to breaker panel feedback.

There will be two external boxes, one will be on the robot and will have the reset and program buttons and the Camera TTL on and off. While the other is going to be built in to the OI Controller Station. From there not only will we be able to have a Remote Reset and program button, camera TTL on and off switch, but we will be able to leave the laptop at our OI station and control everything during practice mode and have it tethered while going through one cable. Otherwise having a tether cable, a program cable, and having to keep putting the robot into program mode and disconnecting and reconnecting the TTL chip on the board all the time gets rather annoying.

Our DB25 Cable is 25 feet long, and we took into consideration that the RS232 data can only travel about 50 feet.

I will be posting electrical schematics hopefully soon.

P.S. This board has changed since this picture was taken i will take a final picture before we pack our beauty up in the crate.
