Wiring Cheat Sheet

Note

This document serves as SuperNURDs wiring standards to match or exceed FRC standards.

Important

Based on the 2024 Game Manual

Important

ALL connection points (wire on both sides of a connector) must have labeled zipties indicating FROM DEVICE and TO DEVICE marked with a dividing line. FROM is on top TO on bottom.

Signal

Important

CAN Wires are "Daisy Chained" meaning each device is connected to the next one (think holding hands in one big circle)

Important

All drivetrain devices (motors, CANcoders, and Pigeon) should be on the CANivore CAN chain. All other motors/devices should be on the roboRIO CAN chain.
