  1. Bread Boarding and Operating The IFI Robotic Control System

  2. This Slide Show will help the BattleBots IQ Participants: Become familiar with the parts and terminology associated with the basic operation of the IFI Robot control system. Set up and operate the IFI Robot Control system using the default control functions. There is no substitute for reading the IFI Manual! Download it now!

  3. The IFI Robot Control System The IFI Robot Control System is comprised of two sub systems The Operator System and the Robot Control System The Operator system This System accepts control inputs from the human operator through joysticks, switches and potentiometers. The systems also displays input/output data sent to and received from the robot Robot Control System Includes “Onboard” IFI control components such as the Robot Controller, Data Modem, PC board, Victor Speed Controllers and Spikes.

  4. The IFI Robot Control System The Robot Controller The IFI Robot Control System Components: 1.) Programmable Robot Controller and Data Modem 2.) Mechanically mountable PC Board with PWM and relay connectors, serial port, and LED status display. 3.) Victor PWM speed controllers 4.) IFI Spike Relay controller. Slides 5 – 12 describe the parts and illustrate the basic set up of the Robot Controller.

  5. Robot Controller System Potentiometers 0-5v Sensors Master Processor 1.) Receive data from Radio 2.) Read analog Inputs (on robot) 3.) Read digital Inputs (on robot) 4.) Send Data to BS2SX 5.) Send Data to Radio 6.) Repeat Switches BS2SX(Pbasic Processor) Servos Speed Controllers 1.) Input Serial Data 2.) Process Data 3.) Output Dashboard Bits 4.) Output Serial Data 5.) Repeat Small Motors, Solenoids, Lights Output Processor 1.) Input Serial Data 2.) Output PWM Signals 3.) Output Relay Signals 4.) Repeat

  6. The IFI Robot Control System The Robot Control Module The Robot Control Module Contains: Radio, Input Processor, Pbasic Processor, Output Processor The Robot Control Module plugs into dual “keyed” 40 pin headers on the underside of the Robot Control PC Board. The PC Board is populated with input/output pins, a PBASIC memory Chip, fuse, Team ID dips and an LED Status Display.
