1. Install Armbian for Orange Pi from here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-lite/
2. Install ROS kinetic

   echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" >ros-latest.list
   sudo cp ros-latest.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-ros-base
   sudo rosdep init
   rosdep update

Congratulations, you have ROS kinetic running on your Orange PI. Add some of the basic ROS packages, such as Hector SLAM, and the drivers to XV11, based on this tutorial: http://meetjanez.splet.arnes.si/2015/08/22/neato-xv-11-to-ros-slam/

Got the XV11 lidar work on the Nitro RC, example of the Laserscan: 

Next weeks:

1. Check how slow can the car move, XV11 lidar works at really really low speed compare to the speed of the car, will need to see if we can use this lidar or just replace it with a better RGB camera.
2. Stress test the poor Orange Pi to see if we can use this or will need to change to a better one.
3. DIY Electric starter.
4. Record some videos form the webcam so we can start working on the lane tracking, and autonomous steering.
