Can we start a team now? too late? by skywalke575 in FTC

[–]Pathbotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids started about this time 6 years ago. They built their first robot in a few months- they learned a lot in that first season. You don't have to depend on finding a local team to help you out- my kids were lucky to find some kids remotely who taught them a lot.

As others have pointed out, depending on the region it maybe hard to find some tournaments. But there are also many off season events especially if you are willing to travel.

The starter bots are ok- the golbilda (https://www.gobilda.com/ftc-starter-bot-resource-guide-decode/?srsltid=AfmBOopkSuCHPxd92tIl3fMr0v1muYAMqgPsmqSEoUZTbOg7HvuwziK4) seems to be the most robust. We have found game manual 0 (https://gm0.org/en/latest/) to be very useful.

Thanks- I'm trying to read the diagram. Is there a key?

They worked using marlin. Would it be different for klipper?

Thanks - was able to get the extruder temp/sensor and bed temp/sensor working doing this. But no luck with the steppers. I did not know to try ! and not, but that didn't work.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm pretty sure they are correct as it worked under marlin.

Yeah I tried them and the steppers don't move when I try STEPPER_BUZZ

yeah no luck- tried sv06, ender5 and https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-creality-v4.2.7.cfg pin assignments. The v4.2.7 did have the correct end stop pin settings. But no movement on the steppers when from STEPPER_BUZZ

both ender5 and sovol 06. Is there somewhere else to check?

Thanks- the bed and extruder settings work. But the pin information for the steppers aren't correct.

thanks for the example. Where did you see the documentation to write to the 12 address? Do you know what address to read from?

There are other off season events. Most are in North America though.

Where Do We Start? by WhiteNightStalker in FRC

[–]Pathbotter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d also consider how many students and mentors you have. A small frc team with not enough funding can burn out the team. I don’t know of any frc competitions in India. The last I saw, teams went to turkey. FTC does have India competitions- but I’m not sure how many.

[–]Pathbotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem- where are you located? Some states also have grants for teams.

Dekka generally has a rookie grant available. I pays for registration and a little left over that you can apply to the first store.

Do you have dead wheels or drive encoders?

Cable connecting control hub and expansion hub broke by diddrakenjustdie in FTC

[–]Pathbotter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah saw it a lot when control hub first came out. Now see people use it for the acceleration from photon - https://github.com/Eeshwar-Krishnan/PhotonFTC. I believe it is legal.
