Using the IR
Does anyone have a link to a manual with information about how to use the IR board, how to get started with it ?
The link on the manual that came with the IR board doesn't work anymore and my team desperately needs help getting started. ![]() |

Re: Using the IR
I have some problems with it as well. We printed out the link above and we still cant figure it out. How do we hook it up to a battery? I assume that where it says pin # is the order of the wires. Like the brown is pin 1, red #2, ect, to black #10.
And why are there 2 wires for positive voltage and 2 for negitave? Thanks, Brandon Team 2495 |

There's a pic. Sorry some of the wire colors aren't exactly as they should be, but it's close enough to distinguish. The PWM cables go off to the RC, and the others go to our power distro. Look closely at the board and notice that there are numbers printed near the ribbon cable pins. Here is a pinout of that: 1 12v Brown 2 12v Red 3 Gnd Orange 4 Gnd Yellow 5 Out2 Green 6 Out1 Blue 7 Out3 Purple 8 Out0 Gray |

Re: Using the IR
Also, you don't HAVE to use that part. It was just there (two actually, and I think new this year), and I'm a fan of terminal blocks, so I used it

i see on your image that the black (GND) wires in the PWM cables are running to something, am i correct in saying they are running to the negative on the din rail power distro block? |

Re: Using the IR
Not the din rails, just a power distribution block's ground.
I'm a programmer so I'm no expert on electronics. Also...if you notice, the whole "stationary dev/test bot" thing is built on OSB lol. |

Re: Using the IR
We aren't using the Rockwell block yet, but yes the positives are thru 20 amp fuses. The ground is just a common ground.

Re: Using the IR
The four output pins each connect to the signal pin of a digital input on the RC.

Re: Using the IR
Ok, theres one thing im not sure about, do I connect just 1 wire from the digital output to the pwm or do I need to ground the black wire of that pwm to the ground of the power supply of the IR as well?
