Motor Controller
|
||
We will dive deeper into motor controllers in E2. For E1 be aware of the options available for FRC teams.
|
||
Review these items: Take note of the Control Systems (CAN vs PWM) and maximum AMPS.

Wire Size
|
||
FRC has strict rules about what size wire can be used for what parts. To achieve Level 2 you will have to memorize the rules and be able to apply them. For Level 1 you need to understand that bigger wires are used for more power hungry things such as motors, compressors, and batteries. Most of the time you can find the wire size or GAUGE of the wire by reading the print on plastic jacket around the wire.
|
||
The lager the wire’s physical size, the lower the number Gauge 6> Gauge 8
|
||
AWG 6 Gauge
|
||
AWG 14 Gauge
|
||
|
||
Wire Pairs
|
||
Electricity needs a “Complete Circuit” (closed Loop) to flow. To achieve this the wires are often paired.
|
||
|
||
Black wire = Negative Red wire = Positive
