1Step 1
First a word of warning: the design is not yet finished, continue at your own peril.
-
2Step 2
Download the sources from the Circuit maker page for the PCB, you may need to install the software to do this, I am not sure. Get the PCBs made with 1mm board thickness. They are 4 layers and you almost certainly want to order a paste stencil.
-
3Step 3
After waiting for the board to arrive, order the components that are in the BOM, careful, it has not been fully checked and there may be some silly resistors that we changed on the fly.
-
4Step 4
Follow the build log where we demonstrated the solder paste and pick and place techniques.
-
5Step 5
Follow the build log where we demonstrated the assembly of the other components, including the battery and the motors.
-
6Step 6
Install ROS on your preferred computer (in the future this will be a Raspberry Pi 3) , and clone the repository for the software. Follow the instructions in the readme attached to the repo.
-
7Step 7
Load the Arduino interface code to a handy Arduino and attach the IR LED to the pin identified in the code.
-
8Step 8
Running the launch file in ROS that came with the repo should now launch the various nodes needed to run the system. For the moment you will have to work out your own image topic, as we have not made a standardised node for that yet.
-
9Step 9
If you got to the end of these very vague instructions then good on you. The above will be updated as the project becomes more solidified.
