Electronics Overview¶

Control Devices¶

The control systems on our robot make use of three primary compute devices. These are:

Client Laptop
NVIDIA Jetson Nano
ESP32 Microcontroller

Refer to the linked page for more information on these devices specifically.

Electronics¶

The following devices are used as a part of our electrical box. All can be found on the wiring diagram except for the Linear Actuators and Cytron Controllers. We've included those in this list since they worked well for our specific use case, but this wiki and framework does not implement anything beyond a basic drivetrain.

Motors¶

REV NEO Brushless Motors
REV Spark Max Motor Controllers
Progressive Automations Linear Actuators
Cytron MD20A Motor Controllers
