Revision as of 20:58, 16 November 2014

Phase I: Techanical Analysis

The first stage of the 2014-2015 RoboCup redesign involves brainstorming potential upgrades by researching new technologies/resources since the last revision. A parallel analysis of current robot bugs and potential enhancements is also done at this time. Outlined below is a listing of resources that the team used in it's brainstorming stage.

Competition 2014

Phase II: Design

Layout

Max PCB Dimensions

To Do

  • Determine location and placement for dribbler motor header
  • Determine optimal placement direction for drive motor's phase connections (motor board)
  • Add connection header for ball sensor to control board
  • Add wires among connections in CAD assembly files
  • Test motor wire modifications before working on the entire batch of motors
  • Determine kicker connections and integration

Radio

To Do

  • Determine optimal secondary frequency for base station updates
  • Test methods using breakout boards and compare data rates

FPGA

To Do

  • Transition the I2C bus lines to the microcontroller
  • Update Verilog for new balanced encoder signals (A+, A-, B+, B-)
    • ( (A+) + (A-) == 0 ) should be true for no errors

Motors

To Do

  • Order motor controller boards
  • Test different circuits and document data result set to wiki

Motion Sensing

To Do

  • Create breakout board for MPU-9250 and place on GitHub repo (robocup-pcb)
    • Update EAGLE part libraries too

Error Detection

To Do

  • Create breakout board for MCP23017 and place on GitHub repo (robocup-pcb)
    • Update EAGLE part libraries too
