Electrical

This is a repository containing all of the electrical board designs of The Bots, including firmware for the chicker board, which is contained in that sub-folder.

The robot contains five custom PCBs (not including the Raspberry Pi).

All five boards contained on our robot (six including the Raspberry Pi), for context, are listed as follows:

  1. Raspberry Pi 4 - Main Robot Computer and link between the active running computer running our team's software
  2. Faceplate - Connector between Raspberry Pi and Midplate for CANBUS communication, peripherals, and LCD screen eyes
  3. Midplate - Battery input and power distribution (doubles as a mechanical chassis)
  4. Chicker - High Voltage Flyback Capacitor Charger and Solenoid Driver
  5. Simovr - A BLDC Motor Driver designed based on the Tinymovr platform in a smaller footprint
  6. Baseplate - Power distribution and CANBUS distribution for the Simovr's, and breakbeam circuits to detect the ball

Questions

How big is the Chicker PCB?

It measures 152.1 × 80.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Chicker use?

195 parts, built around the FGH50T65SQD-F155, LMV321IDBVR, TS-1187A-B-A-B and AMS1117-3.3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Chicker KiCad files?

From the sfunderbots/Electrical repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Chicker/Project Files/chicker.kicad_pcb and its schematic BasePlate/BasePlate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Chicker design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sfunderbots before reusing the design.
