Hardware Overview
Both Motto and MicroOtto are built on top of a stock RC car. Motto is a Traxxas Slash, and MicroOtto is a Magnet RC car. If you'd like to try a different type of RC car, make sure to get one with discrete components (motor controller, RC receiver and steering servo)
The raspberry pi is what runs the neural network and stores data for training. We're using a raspberry pi 3 model B.
The fubarino board is an arduino alternative microcontroller based on a PIC 32. We use it to read RC signals from the receiver on the car and write servo commands to the steering servo and the motor controller.
The camera is currently the only sensor we're using. Our camera is a Sainsmart wide-angle raspberry pi camera.
Since we're usually running the raspberry pi without a monitor or keyboard, we need a way to monitor the status of the autonomous software and change the mode it's in. This is accomplished using a panel with switches and leds, which we've assembled ourselves.
