Prototype Control System Design
Context:
There is a need for a quick control system that is much simpler than the full software system. For 2021, 2 control systems were made, one for the drivetrain and one for the arm.
The Drivetrain system was designed to be wireless, and as such, uses a raspberry pi to interface between a base station and the motor controllers.
The Arm system will be designed to be wired and based around an Arduino mega due to its simplicity
Potential for future integration could be making a system with STM32 and making it more compatible with our current firmware solutions and/or robot controller
