Decide on a Claw implementation #159

Closed naterpotatoers closed 3 years ago

naterpotatoers commented 3 years ago

Need to choose which possible implementation to go forward with for claw. Describe reasoning

  1. MCU control of claw (arm communicates with claw MCU using UART)
    Signals: GND, Vbattery, RX, TX = 5 sigs
  2. MCU with wifi and battery
    Signals: NA
  3. MCU with Wifi and Power Pin
    Signals: GND, Vbattery
  4. I2C to PWM generator
    Signals: GND, Vbattery, SCL, SDA
  5. ARM board direct PWM
    Signals: GND, Vbatt, Thumb, Index, Middle, ring, pinky fingers = 7

It was noted during 2/15/2021 meeting that there would also need to be an IMU on the wrist/end effector that uses I2C and possibly a camera module in addition to the other items described above.

There is a slight lean towards version 4 as we already use I2C on the rover
