# Electrical Documentation

**Everything** you need to know about Electrical Documentation for the upcoming FRC season!

# Documentation Standard

#### As a representative assembly, the Electrical Subteam has decided to use **[draw.io](https://www.drawio.com/)** as the Electrical Standard for the FRC 2026 season, *Rebulit.*

We will be using this website for our documentation on Electrical Schematics and Layouts.

##### Quick Distinction:

Electrical Schematics (in our terms)

- Component diagrams that depict the connections of ports and the port numbers that they connect to 
    - Depicting motors and what PDH port they connect to
    - Showing the flow of the CANchain through the various components
    - Depicting the individual ports of the PDH and their connections

Electrical Layouts

- Diagram of the robot and the various components connected. This also entails the display of wiring between these components on the robot

    - Does not include wiring, but you get the point ^

# Electrical Template for Documentation

### NOTES

When using this template:

- Be sure that you are following FRC Electrical Standards
- Be prepared to have your Electrical Schematics reviewed by the team
- Make sure it is thorough and realistic
- Understand that each section has inputs based on the specificities of robot
