Electrical Issues & Improvements

Below is a diagram showing the flow of data between the various robot controller components.

Needs correction:

  • GPS communicates over COM2(/dev/ttyS1)
  • Time server (NTP) runs on the TS board reading the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) line of COM2
  • Add: TS Board is running an NTP server to define robot time
  • Software modules should be included
  • Rename "Arduino" -> "Motor Arduino"
  • Add "Power Arduino"
  • Fix: Wheel Encoders will be communicating over SPI

Candiii (V3.0)

At Competition

Mechanical Issues & Improvements

Candiii's body has remained essentially the same for the last 2 years.

Electrical Issues & Improvements

Candiii has two isolated power systems: one for the motors and one for the other electronics.

Other Electronics:

  • Camera
  • LIDAR
  • IMU
  • GPS
  • Compass
  • Motor encoders
  • Motor currents

Software Issues & Improvements

Localization and Mapping:

Controls:

  • PI-Lead control(?)
  • Joystick
