KIT-Controller

Hardware for the KIT Controller

Migrated from https://kitsunehosting.net/gitea/Kenwood/lewis-crawler

Getting Started

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/Kitsune-Robotics/KIT-Controller.git --recurse-submodules

You will need the submodules as all of the boards in Hardware have several library dependencies.

Hardware/BackPlane Contains the backplane for the system, the backplane connects all other cards together. Hardware/KIT_Controller Is the main processing unit of the system, the core computer where this code (will eventually) live Hardware/Dev_Card Is a development tool, made to be slotted into any slot and connected via probes, solder jumpers and wires to aid in developing/debugging

You can re-initalize/update submodules by using the command

git submodule update --init --recursive

3D Models

Some libraries (namely my own kenwoodfox-kicad-libraries lib) requires setting a path variable to show some 3d models.

Follow the instructions inside of these libraries folders for how to set these paths.

Parts

The kit controller and its other boards use the Sullins EBM15DSEH to connect to the backplane.

Its a little expensive, in the future the WingTAT ED30MEBGFBK is a possible replacement.
