Frc driver station output serial#
The original FRC cRIO consists of a metal chassis with integrated controller and 8 slots for plug-in modules-(2) analog input modules, (2) digital I/O modules, (2) solenoid modules.īy FRC rules there must be an analog module in slot 1 to provide robot battery voltage feedback, and a Digital module in slot 4 for the robot status light.Īdditional modules are optional, but all modules must go in these specific positions if they are used at all (slot 1 is closest to the cRIO panel of lights, DIP switches, Ethernet and serial connectors, and 24v power connector): NI-cRIO FRC II FPGA (2012) Specs: Spartan6 familyĬRIO FRC I (2009-2011) legal for use in 2012 as well.NI-cRIO FRC I FPGA (2009-2010) Specs: Spartan3 family.NI-cRIO FRC FPGA Comparison Specs: Spartan3 vs Spartan6.NI-cRIO FRC II Processor Core (2012-) Specs: Processor core.NI-cRIO FRC II Chassis (2012-) Specs: NI cRIO-9075.NI-cRIO FRC II Insides (2012-) Specs: NI cRIO-9076.NI-cRIO Model Comparisons: cRIO-907x model comparison.NI-cRIO FRC II Processor (2012-) Specs: Freescale MPC5125.NI-cRIO FRC II Operating Instructions (2012-) Specs: NI cRIO-9076 Operating Instructions.Slot 4 - any of the three types (Analog, Digital, or Solenoid).22.7oz (1.42 lbs) chassis weight without modules.

Frc driver station output plus#
On introductory sale to veteran teams in the Fall of 2011, a bare chassis will cost ~$300, while the chassis with three modules (Analog, Digital, and Solenoid) will cost ~$550.īased on the NI cRIO-9076, this smaller, lighter model has only 4-slots, one each for analog/digital/solenoid modules, plus an additional slot that will be hardcoded for a second module of FIRST's choice. In 2012 a new version of the cRIO is introduced, the cRIO FRC II. User selectable Win7 netbook/laptop to command the robot by custom controls or up to four USB joysticks/game controllers (must run the FIRST Driver Station application).A specific type of relay to control up to 20A motors, pneumatic solenoids, and custom electronics.Two specific models of speed controllers to control up to 40A continuous variable speed motors.


The control system/electronics consist of: Of the FIRST Robotics Competition control system beginning in 2009. National Instruments is the manufacturer and donator of the Compact RIO (cRIO) hardware/firmware that forms the backbone
