36_Combined Schematics

The full combined schematic for the electrical system has been started and is still in progress (Fig. 1 & 2).  It is currently composed of three voltage regulator circuits 10 motor driver circuits including the position and load feedback for each motor (only 8 are shown in the Figure).  In addition to the schematic, Ultiboard footprints have been created for all the components so that the final PCB layout can be created as soon as the schematics are complete.

Figure 2:  Power Regulation Circuits

Additionally a power budget has been created to keep track of the normal power consumption of all the device’s electrical components (Figure 3).
