Robot Wiring

Wire

This is the schematic of the whole system:

Assemble

The step that we follow during the wiring was:

• Wire each leg. From the battery to the switch and then to the Textrix Module.

• Wire the DC Motor of each leg to the back of the robot.

  • One source will turn on the Edison and power the servos, while the other one is exclusively for the motors.

• Connect the power and the ground to the patchpanel at the back of the robot. (Left - GNR, Right - Power)

• From left to right take all the cables of each Servomotor and attach to the piece of the back.

• Wire the power of all the DC motors, 4 to left (Elbow, Shoulder, Head) and 3 to the right (Elbow, Shoulder,) textrix panel.

• Wire all the ground of the servormotors to the patchpanel (Left panel).

  • When everything is assembled, your Edison and the blocks will look something like this:

• Wire all the signal of the servomotors to the patchpanel (Up panel).

• Put Edison, Dual H-Bridge, PWM, Breakoutboard together. Down the bottom we have the mini breakout board, then the SparkFun Dual H Bridge, next the SparkFun PWM and finally the Edison module.

• Wire all the signal of the patchpanel to Edison pwm module.

• Wire the two cables of the two DC Motors to the Dual H Bridge

• Wire the eyes to the backpack.

• Put the upboard at the middle of the robot.

• Connect the converter of power from the patch panel to the support, and then to the upboard.

• Connect the HDMI, wifi, camera to Upboard.
