CIMcoder High Resolution CIM Encoder

The CIMCoder 256 is a high resolution version of the CIMcoder we've all come to love. This encoder mounts directly to the drive side of a CIM motor. It has a 10 pin connecter making it compatible with The Talon SRX speed controller for closed loop control. Built in LED indicate voltage and outputs. To interface with this encoder use cable am-2617.

This is an double solenoid, air-piloted, compact valve made by CKD. It's great for efficiently providing air to a small to medium sized actuator on mobile robots.

In order to make this work, you will also need three (3) M5 fittings (NOT INCLUDED) and some tubing (also NOT INCLUDED).

This breakout board makes wiring a quadrature encoder or a limit switch to the Talon SRX quick and easy. When connected to the Talon SRX through a ribbon cable , the breakout board provides solder pads for quadrature encoders (on the top) and limit switches (on the bottom). See section 1.4.6 of the Talon SRX User's Guide for more details.

This 6 in. long cable is designed specifically for the 2x5 pin data port on the Talon SRX to provide external inputs. It can be used to connect the Talon SRX to feedback devices such as potentiometers, limit switches, analog & quadrature encoders as well as providing other future expansions options beyond what is currently supported.

This cable can be used with the following list of products:

• Talon Tach (am-3778)
• Talon SRX Encoder Breakout Board (am-2633)
• Talon SRX Analog Breakout Board (am-2634)
• SPARK MAX Brushless and Brushed DC Motor Controller (am-4261)
• Lamprey Absolute Encoder (am-4179)
• SRX Magnetic Encoder (am-3445)

The RedLine Encoder Kit is designed to adapt the AM Mag Encoder(am-3479) onto the back shaft of the RedLine Motor. Due to the mounting, it also provides additional support for motor spades. Included in the kit is a magnet adapter, mount board, screws, and the AM Mag Encoder.
 

Works with the Encoder cable, 36" long, with single pin connectors(am-2269)

Got a robot chassis and no control system to drive it? You need AndMark’s new U-Drive (Universal Drive control system). The U-Drive was developed to be used as a control system, as a teaching aid, or as a simple way to control demo 'bots.

This control system works with any of our chassis and wheel configurations (except Swerve and Steer), from the simple 2-wheel NaviGator Robot to a 4-wheel mecanum rover and anything in between. Add a battery and speed controller of your choice and install our U-Drive system and you will be driving in minutes. A simple web-based configuration tool lets you configure speed controller type, wheel configuration, and drive control from your phone or PC. Using the web tool allows users to control the robot via virtual joystick, and read battery telemetry and gyroscopic data.

Settings are saved and restored on power up. Settings can be easily cleared and reconfigured when moving to a new robot configuration type.

Note: This control system is not legal for any FIRST programs.

This is a plastic air tank accumulator holding 574 ml, manufactured by Clippard.

This black plastic tank has been improved over the last white plastic design from Clippard. Each end now has molded in plastic push-in fittings. These eliminate the need to have metal fittings to be screwed in to the tank, and omits the uncertainty of over-tightening a fitting into the tank.

Specifications:

• Manufacturer: Clippard
• Weight: 0.64 lbs
• Capacity: 574 ml (35 cu. inch)
• Ports: Two 1/4" od tube push-in fittings
• Maximum pressure: 125 psig
• Temperature rating: 35 to 100 F
• Length: 12.25"
• Diameter: 2.5" (@ main tank), 2.75" max

A mounting bracket is available to order (am-2008), but is not included when ordering just this item.

Note: If you have received a faulty air tank (damaged push to connect fittings) please contact Scott Lamb of Clippard Technical Sales at (513)-521-4445 (ext 1213).
