Electrical & Electronic Components
To enhance how the robot communicates with the Driver's Station in wireless mode, this kit adds an additional USB port as well as an Ethernet port to the myRIO. An access point is provided that is plugged directly into the myRIO stabilizing the wireless environment while providing protection against unwanted interference and/or malicious connections.
This kit seamlessly adds two extra USB ports and one Ethernet port to myRIO.

Detailed Specifications:
The navX2-Micro is the greatest sensor for orientation in competitive robots. nnavX2-Micro is a second-generation 9-axis inertial/magnetic sensor and motion processor. Designed for plug-n-play installation onto robots such as those used in the WorldSkills Robotics, FIRST Technology Challenge (FTC) and the FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC), navX2-Micro helps build better robots by adding sophisticated navigation capabilities. Significant improvements over the classic navX2-Micro allow for more accuracy, decreased yaw drift, and faster boot time. navX2-Micro includes software algorithms for enhanced sensor calibration as well as KalmanFilter-based data fusion combining gyro, accelerometer, and magnetometer data into a 9-axis heading and high-quality magnetometer calibration including magnetic disturbance detection.
In addition to being an Inertial Measurement Unit, navX2-Micro capabilities are referred to within the aerospace industry as an “Attitude/Heading Reference System” (AHRS). Studica brings this high-tech AHRS capability to FIRST teams – to use, learn, and explore. navX2-Micro is a key component of Studica’s ongoing efforts to make state-of-the-art navigation technologies used in drones and autonomous vehicles (e.g., the Google Car) available to robotics students and enthusiasts as low-cost, open-source products.
Improvements over navX "Classic":
navX2-Micro features a new set of IMU & Magnetometer sensors with superior sensor specifications to those on the MPU-9250 sensor. This board has a faster 180Mhz microcontroller and an optimized startup time at 5 seconds versus 15 seconds. In addition, it has a completely new Kalman Filter-based Sensor Fusion algorithm running internally at a blazing fast 416Hz.
RoboRIO Installation
It's recommended to connect to the RoboRIO using a USB Mini-B type (Male) to USB A type (Male) connector, navX2-Micro can receive both power and also communicate with the RoboRIO. This preferred installation method allows the navX2-Micro circuit board to be placed up to 6 meters away from the RoboRIO.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid having the navX2-Micro reset due to a RoboRIO brownout, connecting the navX2-Micro to the RoboRIO via USB is highly recommended.
Power Control Panel for WorldSkills Mobile Robot
The Remote Controller is optimized for use on many different platforms. Connect with the included USB cable or in Bluetooth mode. Includes a built-in gyroscope, accelerometer, and 3.5mm Stereo interface for headphones and microphones. The built-in battery has a 5 to 6 hour working time, and the charging time is 2 to 3 hours. Weight is 300g.
This versatile rotary sensor offers a comprehensive solution for measuring both relative and absolute positions, thanks to its ABI quadrature output and absolute position pulse output capabilities. The encoder is thoughtfully designed with a standard 3/8-inch Hex Through Bore, complete with strategically placed mounting holes to seamlessly integrate into various multi-channel systems. Enhancing its adaptability further, the package includes interchangeable inserts, allowing you to effortlessly convert the 3/8-inch hex to a 6mm D-Shaft, 5mm hex, or 7mm hex, providing you with exceptional flexibility for your application needs.
Great for use in an FTC Odometry system along with our 38mm omni wheel.
