We have been busy making system diagrams of all the components we need, and we have begun formulating a list of various other electrical components, in addition to setting up our Zotac motherboard.
Here is the system diagram for the entire RoboBuggy:
The only change is that the power supply is at around 18 Volts, as we bought 3 6V 5aH SLA batteries. The Voltage Regulator Board will be adjusted accordingly.
In addition, a R/C controller will be used as an emergency stop for the RoboBuggy if it goes off of the course. The circuit for that setup is below:
Ubuntu is now installed on the motherboard! The GUI will be removed, and startup scripts will be implemented in order for it to function reliably. We will be accessing this computer via SSH in the meantime.
Tomorrow Nate and I are bussing to the hardware store bright and early in order to make a casing for the computer!
Stay tuned!
