The 2015 Control System Introducing the roboRIO
Today’s Agenda • New Hardware • Setup of RoboRIO • Differences in Programming • New Software tools • Q & A
The Hardware Touring the board
Hardware Specifications • No more Digital Sidecar or Analog Module • 10 PWM • 4 relay ports • 4 analog ports • 1 I2C port • 10 DIO ports • 2 SPI • 1 RS232 • 2 USB(type A) • 1 RSL
Power Distribution Panel • New Version of the PDB • CAN Bus • temperature • current • battery status • 8 outputs for 40A • 8 outputs for 30A • 0 indexed
The PCM • Replaces the solenoid module • Enabled/Disabled over CAN • Diagnostic information: • solenoid state • compressor state
Voltage Regulator Module • Regulated 12V and 5V output • Powered by 12V • Can be used to power • Radio • IP Vision Cameras • Other Custom Circuits • Power over USB
Setup and Programming That New-Board Smell
Networking • Can connect over: • mDNS • USB • Bridge Configuration Utility • Cannot configure over wireless
The roboRIO Web Interface • Found at 177.22.11.2 • The Browser must support Silverlight • Lists CAN Devices • Gives Access to the roboRIO file system • Username: Admin • Password: <blank>
roboRIO Imaging and Updating • Use USB type B to type A cable • Update over Web interface • The imaging tool comes with the NI Install
Eclipse • Both C++ and Java developers will use Eclipse as their IDE • All eclipse users need to download the JDK • All eclipse users should download the C/C++ version of eclipse
Software tools • FRCSim • Need to run Ubuntu(Linux Distribution) • SmartDashboard • RobotBuilder • Driver Station
