What is this project?

This project aims to develop an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) for monitoring fruit and forestry plots, inspired by NASA's Open Source Rover project. The UGV is designed to navigate autonomously and safely between rows of agricultural fields, providing valuable data for research and management.

Context

This UGV was developed by students of Insper College as part of their Capstone Engineering Project, in collaboration with Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation), during the first and second semesters of 2024. The project builds upon the foundation laid by the NASA JPL Open Source Rover, adapting it for agricultural applications.

Questions

How big is the GPS PCB?

It measures 47.5 × 39.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.

What parts does the GPS use?

4 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the GPS KiCad files?

From the MekhyW/UGV-Embrapa repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/GPS/GPS.kicad_pcb and its schematic Electronics/GPS/GPS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GPS design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MekhyW before reusing the design.
