So far as we know, there is no perfect breakout board for the talon SRX 10-pin "data port" connector. ====== COTS boards ====== * https://www.andymark.com/products/talon-srx-encoder-breakout-board * https://www.andymark.com/products/talon-srx-analog-breakout-board * https://www.andymark.com/products/talon-srx-universal-breakout-board * https://www.andymark.com/products/sentinel-interface-board-for-the-talon-srx * http://www.revrobotics.com/rev-11-1278/ ====== Custom boards from other teams ====== * https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/FmFvJBLa * https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/NUPrQNZK * https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/i39cJfu9 * https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/bFWVuim5 * https://www.chiefdelphi.com/t/1989-talon-breakout-board-and-other-electronics-stuff-reveal/356855 ====== Criteria for judging boards ====== Most of these can be answered yes/no for each board. * used/tried ever by Eastbots * access to all data port functions without switching to a different board * support for 3.3v and 5v analog sensors * simple, pure passive hookup board: no extra components * power status LED * limit switch status LEDs * 3-pin connectors (ground,power,signal) for active limit switches like hall-effect sensors * encoder status LED(s). full set of three (A/B/index), or partial? * 10-pin male connector for hookup to 10-pin encoders, while still using limit switches * somthing to aid in CAN bus daisy-chain hookup (TODO: discussion about which of these we think are important) ====== The giant table ====== TODO: table listing all criteria for all breakout boards.
