New designs Use traditional PWM connectors and cables Screw terminals for power input and output Feature forward/reverse limit switch connections Physical brake/coast settings Passively cooled – no fans! Device Availability (as of ) Notes SD540 Active Production In Stock PWM only $49.00 RevRobotics Spark $45.00 Amazon Prime 2-day ship!Īdditional features added to Talon-SRX Enabled via 2016 WPILib and Talon Firmware upgrade Benefits existing hardware! Just update FW! Firmware included in NI Update package Update performed via roboRIO web interface Enhanced roboRIO web interface Settings Diagnostic information Magnetic Encoder supportĪdditional Closed Loop Control Modes: Voltage compensation (maintain output voltage) Target current (maintain output current) Motion profile: give a series of positions/velocities and duration to maintain More control of closed-loop operation: Set Min / Max output value Limit error value used as input to closed loop calculation Able to use alternate units: rotations and RPM vs. New controllers for 2016 For both of these devices…. Not needed for units received in Kit of Parts! Use on externally purchased units … Or to reset the radio to default config Laptop Ethernet must be plugged into radio port furthest from the power supply! Radio power must be unplugged before initiating the firmware load! Must do configuration step after every firmware load!ġ1 CTRE Magnetic Encoder Rotational sensor Dual outputĪbsolute rotational position Quad Encoder-style relative Mounts to popular transmissions Wires direct to Talon-SRX speed controllers Uses fine-pitched non-FRC typical connectors Setup programmatically via CAN bus or using roboRIO web interface Talon-SRX can use for closed-loop motor control … or read value back over CAN bus for other useĪll 2015 controllers remain supported in 2016 Discontinued devices: availability is left to team “recycling” and bartering!

Separate download No longer included in NI Update Suite Performs 2 functions: Configuration Bridge / AP mode and 2.4/5 GHz band selection WPA Key configuration Team # and IP configuration Firmware loading Loads FRC-specific firmware Resets radio to default values! Radio - Setup Use the “FRC Radio Configuration Utility” Remove it!! Use one of the 12V / 2A Terminal Pairs for this year’s radio! Radio - Wiring Power from VRM module (NOT PD board!) as in 2015 2016 radio is 12V! 2015’s DAP-1522 was 5V!! Center pin on radio is positive Do not use 5V terminals for this year’s radio! Old VRMs may have a sticker over one of these 5V terminals that says “Radio Power”. Radio - Function Similar in function to 2015’s DAP-1522Ĭustom firmware will be supplied (and required) by FIRST 2.4 or 5 GHz operation, access point or bridge Most teams use AP mode at home Acts as DHCP server Enforces bandwidth cap similar to competition field! All teams use Bridge mode at competition Mode swap done via configuration utility only! No physical switch on back! (Probably) required for all teams in 2016 Included in your 2016 Kit of Parts 12V DC input Power supply not included in retail purchases! Two (2) Ethernet ports Equivalent function once FRC firmware is loaded
