Electronic components
The following is a list of electronic components that are availble commercially through retail. Most parts are replaceable to some some extent with alternatives, for example the USB camera is rather generic, so any USB Camera with similar capabilities and the same mounting layout will be a drop in replacement. However, some other parts don't have a drop in replacement such as the Debix and the B-G431B-ESC1, since they have specific features unique to the use-case of the Rover.
| ID | Name | Image | Description | Number per Car | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Debix Model A 8GB | The debix is the brains of the whole operation. It comes with enough processing power to run the ASE Software framework. | 1 | link | |
| 2 | B-G431B-ESC1 Discovery Kit | The electronic speed controllers (ESCs) translate the power from the battery into current to run the motors. This is a delevopment kit, so custom code was written to get Field Oriented Control to work with these ESCs. | 2 | link | |
| 3 | AS5600 Magnetic Encoder | Along with a diametrically magnetized magnet mounted on the axel of the motor, the magnetic encoder is able to sense the angle accurately and communicates over i2c and PWM. | 2 | link | |
| 4 | 5010 360KV Brushless Motor |  | Low KV Drone Motors enable running Field Oriented Control ESCs with as low of a input voltage as possible. | 2 | link |
| 5 | REELY R2411T Metal Digital Servo |  | Standard hobby-grade metal gear servo motors provide the car with steering capabilites. | 1 | link |
| 6 | USB CMOS-camera voor Raspberry Pi en NVIDIA |  | USB-Camera capable of JPEG streaming at 30 FPS. | 1 | link |
| 7 | BH1750 Lux Sensor | Sense light intensity and outputs a signal over i2c. | 1 | link |
