Arduino needs to be moved from i2c bus 0 to bus 1. #7

Closed Ximidar closed 8 years ago

Ximidar commented 8 years ago

For faster communication we should move the arduino from bus 0 to bus 1 so that the IMU has bus 0 all to itself. then the arduino can share bus 1 with the motors. This is a better configuration because the motors are not going to be written to as much as the IMU or Arduino so they dont need as much bandwidth space.

This change has been made, however due to the wiring process and i2c being fast enough we should move the motors back to bus 0. The Jetson has multiple i2c buses but not all of them are safe to touch. bus 0 seems to be safe.

arduino is no longer used, teensy is here
