README
boards/LegRobotBoardTeensy/readme.mdLeg Robot Board
A board that controls the mobile platform with four mecanum wheels:
- Leg Actuators
- Leg Actuator Potentiometers
- Leg Wheels
- Leg Wheel Encoders
- 9-DOF IMU
- Enabled and PWM activity LEDs
- Wheel Speed 7-Segment LED Indicators
Modules
The following components are placed onto the board as modules:
| Module | Function |
|---|---|
| Teensy 4.1 | ROS Node |
| Adafruit 9-DOF IMU | TF2 Transform |
Devices
The following external components are connected to the board via JST-XH locking connectors:
| Device | Function |
|---|---|
| 8x IBT2 Motor Drivers | Wheel Motor Drivers, Leg Actuator Drivers (8 pin IDC connector: 3V3, GND, L_EN, R_EN, LPWM, RPWM, L_IS, R_IS) |
| 4x Feedback Rod Linear Actuator Potentiometers | Leg Actuator Potentiometers (3 pin JST-XH connector: 3V3, SIG, GND) |
| 4x Leg (Wheel) Encoder Board | Wheel Encoders (8 pin IDC connector: A, B, I, 3V3, and four GND's |
Functionality
PWM
There are four legs and each has two motors: a linear lift actuator and a brushed DC motor that runs the wheel.
Each PWM channel gets its own EN (Enabled) signal. The current sense signals (L_IS, R_IS) are included in the connector layout and sent over the wire, but not used anywhere on the board because there aren't enough pins for them. A multiplexer can be added later if the signals are desired.
ADC
The linear lift actuators have built-in multi-turn potentiometers. These are routed to Teensy ADC pins.
Quadrature
The wheel encoders are connected to each of the four wheels, outputting A, B, and I pulses counting rotations (1000 pulses per revolution).
Number Displays
Four 7-segment common anode LED number displays with decimal points display the speed of each wheel from 0.0 to 1.0. They are driven by an LED multiplexer.
The LED multiplexer is mapped to four 2-digit LED displays with decimal point as follows:
| Display function | IS31FL3730 pins |
|---|---|
| Digit common anodes | SW1–SW8 |
| Segments A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP | CS1–CS8 |
The 3621BH common-anode LED displays have the following pin footprint:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | COM0 | B | C | E | D |
| 2 | G | DP | A | F | COM1 |
The digit segments are mapped as follows:
| Digit | Segments |
|---|---|
 | A - Top of upper squareF - Left of upper squareB - Right of upper squareG - Link of both squaresE - Left of lower squareC - Right of lower squareD - Bottom of lower squareDP - Decimal point |
Pin Mapping
This board is essentially a shield. Labeled locking connectors are provided for all of the devices, PWM enabled/activity is indicated by LEDs, and wheel speeds are indicated by number displays.
