RoboCape

This repository is dedicated to a Beaglebone cape extension developped at EPFL in the Automatic Control Laboratory. The idea of this platform is to allow the user to transform any mechanically actuated platform, for example a RC car or a quadcopter base, into a robotic vehicle that can be controlled by a remote server.

The repository contains all the design files of the Beaglebone cape extension.

  • Schematic
  • PCB layout
  • Production files
  • Documentation files (useful documents and datasheets)

Questions

How big is the RoboCape PCB?

It measures 86.4 × 54.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RoboCape use?

114 parts, built around the SN65HVD232D, MS5611-01BA03, PCA9685PW and BQ32000D. 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 RoboCape KiCad files?

From the PREDICT-EPFL/RoboCape repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is robocape.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RoboCape design in my own project?

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