On board there are:
- 2 x Sharp Sensor ports with power ON/OFF capability (front K5) / rear K3)
- 1 x I2C Expansion module port and 5V power ON/OFF capability MOSFET (K28)
- 8 x Servo output with separate power supply (5V / 3A)and ON/OFF capability
- 8 x PWM outputs
- 1 x CAM interface (CAM_IF) e.g. for a CMUcam3/CMUcam4 and power switch capability
The serial link can be attached to the RP6WIFI board (e.g. UART1).
The header provides an I2c bus interface (hot swap) which can be used for other module
extensions or the planned CAM module with I2C bus.
- I2C hot swap bus (allows to switch off I2C modules, if not needed and save power,
e.g. CAM and I2C extension)
- Temp sensor LM75BD (I2C)
- 1 button and LED (control via s/w)
- 3D Magnetometer / 3D Accelerometer for 3D compass function (I2C)
- Yaw Gyro (analog)
- Real Time Clock with date (rechargeable backup battery) I2C bus (can generate interrupt)
- LED driver I2C bus (smart functions)
2 LED headlights (controlled via LED driver)
2 LED for backlight of RP6 (K10)
Display illumination port (connector K7)
2 LED ports free (connector K2, K4)
- 2 x free Digital I/O lines (input can generate interrupt; connector I/O_EXT)
- Patchfield_1 to get access to I/O lines form Control board
- Patchfield_2 to get access to ADC lines form Control board
- Jumper J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 to disconnect Interrupt lines from connector pins
1.2. RP6 – Setup
The setup for the RP6 mainboard requires two additional steps:
Hint: The changes requiring basic soldering skills!
i. Soldering the header (1 x 8 Pins) into the mainboard.
ii. Connecting power to the Servo
The best is to use a separate battery for the servo power supply (SERVO_PWR), but it
works also from internal battery, if you make a connection with the Power Cable from the
Kit between the 8 Pin header on the mainboard and Servo Power plus on the
RP6_Sensor&I/O Board (JST XH connector).
iii. Then follow the steps from RP6V2 in chap. 1.3 (except Servo power supply)
