PostAssembly
Yay you just got the assembled and wired robot week 5ish - end
The goal for robot bring up should be 5 hours total with the robot. That should be plenty of time to get the robot scoring and light automation.
Initial Safety Setup
Start off with all subsystems running on simulated or null IOs
This disables everything except the drivebase
Deploy and Validate Electronics
Connect to the robot and deploy code
In Phoenix Tuner X:
Set ports
Blink every motor
Missing motor? Tell electrical lead or Cuevas
Check all electronics’ status lights
Update CTRE firmware
Zero all CANCoders
Restart robot code
Validate Feedback
Make sure AdvantageScope virtual twin is updating properly, if advantage scope doesnt look right it is likely unsafe to enable
Subsystem Validation
Manually move each subsystem to max/min
Ensure motion matches simulated behavior
Put robot on blocks before enabling
Keep hand on Enter, if anything but swerve moves immediately disable
Enable the robot
Bring-Up Subsystems One by One
Confirm drive works
Gradually switch each subsystem's
simulationIOtofalseFor each:
Characterize feedforward
Tune motion
Validate setpoints
Automation and Autos
With all systems working:
Begin testing automation
Should be near 100% accuraccy before moving on
Once you are happy with automation, begin testing autos
Should also be near 100% accuracy before letting the drive team have it
