Wiring and electronics

Notes written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Main parts

Raspberry Pi as the main computer; the documents mention Raspberry Pi 4B for one model variant.
Optional USB 9-axis IMU sensor module.
Optional RPLIDAR A1, Intel RealSense D435 and URG-04LX-UG01 sensors.
Circuit diagrams for line-trace, v2 and v3 versions are referenced in the file list; their contents are not described in the README.

Connections

The README does not describe how the parts are connected; wiring details are only in the circuit diagram files.

Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 418d0fd. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files20/20
12 printable parts (STL, 3MF), 4 CAD source files.
Robot description0/15
No URDF.
Add a URDF: the robot can then be seen in 3D and tried in the browser.
Parts list0/20
No parts list in the repository or linked.
Most points to gain: Link to your parts list, or add it to the repository (a CSV or a Markdown table) with quantities, prices and where to buy each part.
Software5/15
Instructions to install or run it.
Link to your code, or add it to this repository. Say which software framework it uses (ROS 2, LeRobot, Arduino…).
Documentation0/15
README of 649 characters with 0 pictures; 0 build steps.
Write a README of at least 1,500 characters: what the robot does and how to build it. Split the build into at least 3 steps. Show the robot and its assembly in pictures in the README.
Simulation0/5
No simulation files.
Add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses10/10
Hardware: Apache-2.0; software: Apache-2.0.

Device drivers are maintained in a separate repository, rt-net/RaspberryPiMouse.
The README gives no installation, flashing or run steps for this hardware repository.

Robotheca doesn't review code. Read it before running it.
