Robot Controller white paper for 2001 Gear Grinders

  1. Description of Operator Interface

    2. The operator interface was designed so that an additional joystick may be plugged in without additional wiring necessary.

    There are three buttons on the joystick needed to do three functions: turbo, activate the sweeper, and activate the ramp lifter.

  2. Description of the Robot Controller Outputs
    3.

    The robot requires outputs for drive motors, a sweeper motor, and the arm pneumatics. The drive now has the ability to gearshift, so servos are needed to change both of the drive motors. The pneumatics use an air compressor and several switches that open and close the valves.
