Description

The Operator Interface collects data from joysticks, buttons, and other input devices controlled by human operators.  The data is transmitted through a Radio Modem or Tether cable to the FRC Robot Controller.  The Operator Interface also receives data transmitted from the Robot Controller, displays the data, and transmits the data out the Dashboard port.

The Operator Interface receives operator input via Ports 1-4. These ports are analog PC joystick compatible.  The ports can also be used with custom control boxes of your own design.  The four input ports have a total of 16 digital inputs for switches, 16 analog inputs for potentiometers and sensors, and 8 LED drivers for controlling external indicators. 

The Operator Interface has a total of 25 indicators to keep you apprised of the wireless communication and robot status.  A 4‑digit display provides real-time robot battery voltage and other important information.

  • Radio or Tether Operation

  • 4 Analog Compatible Joystick Ports

  • Easy access to Team Number

  • 5 Selectable Transmit Channels

  • 25 LED constantly reporting status

  • Easily change data displayed in 4-digit display

Notice:  The 2004 Operator Interface is not compatible with pre-2004 Robot Controllers.  The new 2004 FRC Robot Controller is also not compatible with pre-2004 Operator Interfaces.
