Andy Mark Control System Components

This just up on the AndyMark site:

Power Distribution Board 189.00 Available December 10th
Digital Side Car 82.00 Available December 10th
Analog Breakout 24.00 Available December 10th
Solenoid Breakout 24.00 Available December 10th
Driver Station 162.00 Available December 18th

Total for single set of these items $481
Coupled with Wireless Router/Game Adapter at around $220 (from Amazon)
cRIO with modules from NI ----$750

This gives an approximate cost for a second control system (without motor controllers/battery/120 A breaker, joysticks…misc)

at $1451

(This is for just a single Dig sidecar and a single analog bumper… different from the KOP)

Not bad… but still pretty pricey…
Certainly comparable to a complete system from IFI last year…
Radios/Robot and Operator Interfaces…

good luck to everyone!!

Is 802.11n necessary? A lower cost alternative might be two Linksys WRT54GL’s flashed with DD-WRT if it wasn’t for competition use.
