Requirements

Remote:

  • Wireless
  • Easy to use
  • xbox controller?

Base Station:

  • Show log of joint torques (current logging and speed logging)
  • Show log of joint speeds
  • Just a regular laptop

Controller:

  • Able to read off of 6 encoders (live speed readings)
  • Potentially need to read 6 current sensors (2 pins each)
  • Open loop
  • Arduino Mega?
  • Raspberry Pi?
  • FRC Controller?
  • STM32?
    • Conclusion: Arduino Mega → simple to code, simpler to debug

Motor Driver:

  • Cytrons? → need to buy enough to supply both arm and drivetrain systems

Motors:

  • TBD

Encoders:

  • TBD


Misc.

  • Emergency stop (maybe physical?)

To do

  • Develop wiring plan for drivetrain and arm control systems
  • Create microcontroller code
  • Create x-box controller code
  • Create base station GUI 
    • Verify open-loop communication between encoders and base station
  • Develop Bluetooth communication
  • Set-up communication between microcontroller → computer → x-box
