Parts:
- Single Sided Copper Clad Board
- Get supplys for etching, too
- GPS Module
- Compass Evaluation Board
- Wireless USB Module
- ATMega644P
- Other Semiconductions:
- Low Dropout Regulator, 5V and 3.3V
- Lots of 1N4148 Diodes
- Two 5.1V Zener Diodes
- Other Discretes and Misc:
- Lots of 10k Resistors
- Male Pin Headers
- 2x6 2mm Pin Female Header
- 40 Pin Chip Socket
- 470uF Capacitor
- 0.1uF Capacitor
- Two 0.22pF Capacitor
- 18.4320 Mhz Crystal
The main board design files will be here. I will walk through each component and why they are there. The reader is expected to be able to etch the provided PCB design.
The PCB is designed to be home-etching friendly. Lots of spacing and also only single sided copper clad boards are needed. Both the command station and the robot can use identical boards.
