Talon SRX Encoder Breakout Board

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)

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is a robust, lightweight, configurable and affordable solution for climbing challenges historically present in FRC end game periods. The design of Climber in a Box has been inspired by many team designs along the way including 254 and 2056. The final prototype for this climber was developed in partnership with FRC Team 3940 CyberTooth for the 2020/2021 Infinite Recharge season. This mechanism has been battle tested with hundreds of climbs on a full weight FRC Robot without failures, both in development and real match play. Available in single and two stage configurations, this product should help teams of all levels elevate their team's performance at competitions.

This product uses a "spring out, winch back" powertrain strategy, using off-the-shelf 3.5lb constant force springs to raise the included Hook Kit, and 3mm Dyneema Rope to retract it with the included Winch Kit. Simply unspool the included rope using a planetary gearbox to raise the hook(s), drive the robot up to the bar, and winch it back to elevate your robot. The AndyMark Climber in a Box does not include a motor or gearbox, but is compatible with many off-the-shelf planetary gearboxes on the market that have a 2" bolt circle mounting pattern and support a 2" long 1/2" hex output shaft, including the highly durable blue Sport Gearboxes.

The bearing kits within this product are designed to go from 2" square 1/16" wall aluminum tubing, down to a 1" square 1/16" wall tube, with a 1.5" square 1/16" wall tube in between for the 2 stage flavor of this product. A combination of durable 608 bearings and custom molded plastic components provide the bearing surfaces for a free-flowing telescoping tube mechanism with no 3D printed parts. Each stage has a maximum travel of 24.5."

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is an unassembled kit of everything you need (besides a gearmotor) that is designed to not require any precision machining in order to make your FRC robot climb. The plates included within the Hook Kit, Bearing Kits and Winch Kit are all designed to be assembled and used as drill guides for match drilling their mounting locations onto the aluminum tubes. Each tube is pre-cut to a 30" length so no cutting of the tubes is required to achieve maximum travel.

This encoder mounts to the nose of a CIM Motor and senses the rotations of the CIM Motor output shaft. A housing, mounted to the CIM Motor, protects the encoder circuitry while a collet spins with the motor output shaft. Pull up resistors are necessary to generate an output signal for the desired voltage level. The CIMCoder decreases the over CIM shaft length by 0.31".

Have you lost OpenMesh Radio power during a match because the barrel came unplugged? You can keep that from happening ever again by using this Power Over Ethernet (POE) injector. This injector inserts POE power to a CAT5 Ethernet data cable on the unused Ethernet pins 4,5(+) and 7,8(-) allowing you to stop the worry about the barrel connector failures.
 

The barrel connector will still need to be used but it can move to a more secure location that can be wrapped with electrical tape to keep it in place better than attempting to tape it to the back of the OpenMesh Radio.
 

Plug in the RJ-45 of this unit to your roboRIO, plug the same 12V barrel connector from your Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) into the power port, securely tape it in place with electrical tape (better than awkwardly to the back to the OpenMesh Radio), and run an Ethernet cable from the female port to the Ethernet port closes to the power input on your OpenMesh Radio.

Pixy2 is smaller, faster and more capable than the original Pixy. Like its predecessor, Pixy2 can learn to detect objects that you teach it, just by pressing a button. Pixy2 has new algorithms that detect and track lines for use with line-following robots. The new algorithms can detect intersections and “road signs” as well. The road signs can tell your robot what to do, such as turn left, turn right, slow down, etc. And Pixy2 does all of this at 60 frames-per-second, so your robot can be fast, too.

This is 5 foot long, easy-to-use cable with an easy to use connector (am-2922) designed to fit into the OpenMesh Radio (am-3277) DLink Radio (am-0839_refurb)and also our Ethernet Microcontroller (am-2287). 

The OpenMesh Radio does not come with a power cable, this one fits perfectly and is easy to cut to the right length with screw terminals to insure a secure connection.

Each DLink Radio does have it's own cable, but it is set up to get power from a 120Vac wall outlet. Since most robots use 12Vdc, this wall cable usually gets cut by the user and then the power converter is trashed. This cable we are providing saves the wall converter power cable for future non-robotic use of this DLink Rado.

This product gives the user 5 foot of bonded, 18 gauge wire so that remote location of their robot radio is easy to accomplish. These two items are shipped UNASSEMBLED, but it is easy to use a small screwdriver for wire termination on the provided connector.

Items included:

• 18 gauge bonded wire, red and black, 5 feet long
• 2.1 x 5.5mm DC Power Male Jack Connector with Screw Terminals (am-2922)

NOTE: This product is not included in any Sales or Discounts.
