Getting Started

Background knowledge to review/learn:

1. C/C++
2. Python
3. ROS framework and tutorials for using it and building custom packages (note we are using ROS version: indigo) (and we use catkin to build packages)

Components:

NVIDIA Jetson TK1

Runs Linux4Tegra OS, which is essentially Ubuntu 14.04 -- controls pretty much everything

Teensyduino

This is on a custom circuit board -- responsible for outputting PWM signals to the low-level motor controller that came with the racecar; load its firmware using Arduino; existing Arduino library and serial ROS package used to open up ROS communication

Hokuyo LIDAR

ZED Stereo Camera

PicoStation
