The event is free and open to the public. Qualifying rounds will begin on Thursday, April 11, and continue through Saturday, April 13, with playoff matches starting at 1:30 p.m. As many as 3,000 high school students, their mentors, and their families will attend. Use the Slider in the Labview front panel to change the PWM signal.After six of weeks of competition, which followed more than a month of design work and building, 64 teams representing high schools across New England will compete at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the FIRST Robotics District Championship this weekend. Select 'TeleOp' mode and left-clcik 'Enable'. If this file is not visible, click the '+' icon to the left of the target.ĭeploy the code to the RoboRIO by left-clicking the white arrow in the top left of the window.
Open the SD540 Motor Control.vi fro the project explorer window. Right-click the Target and select 'Connect'. You will have to set the target to match your device. This example was wirtten with RoboRIO attached via USB. Open the SD540 Motor Control.lvprojb example in the Labview environment. SD540 is now connected and ready for instructions.Ĭonnect the RoboRIO to your PC via USB or through your network. The pins are labeled on the bottom of the SD540. Polarity will make make a difference in the direction the motor turns.Ĭonnect the PWM cable to PWM 1 of the RoboRIO and the top left 3 pins of the SD540. It is best to use a switch between any device connected directly to a battery or power supply to avoid sparks or voltage spikes.īe sure to pay close attention to polarity when connecting the SD540.Īttach the wires on the side labeled with an 'M' in a circle with your motor. With power switched off, attach the wires on the side labeled with a battery to your 12V power supply. The software is now installed and you are ready to run the example.Īttach 12 gauge or larger wires to 4 screw terminals of the SD540. The National Instruments directory is usually found in Program Files.Ĭopy NetComm_UsageReport_ResourceType.ctl to 'National Instruments/Labview 2014/vi.liv/Rock Robotics/SystemInterfaces/NetworkCommunication'.
'National Instruments/Labview 2014/vi.libRock Robotics/WPI/Motor Control'. Open the unzipped 'SD Motor Control' folder.Ĭopy WPI_Motor ControlOpen.vi and WPI_Motor ControlOpen SD540.vi to The FRC Driver Station must also be installed for use with this example.ĭownload the example program and software. The SD540 is intended for use with Labview 2014 or later with the 2015 or later FRC Update. Advanced users may find some of this information useless and/or redundant.
