Installation

git clone https://github.com/ab3nd/TinyRobo

cd TinyRobo/software/catkin_ws/

sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev

sudo ln -s /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/ /usr/include/ImageMagick

sudo apt-get install libmagickcore-dev

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-6.q16-2

sudo apt-cache search libMagick++

sudo apt-get install libmagick++-6.q16-5v5

sudo apt-get install libmagick++-6.q16-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagick++-dev

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libMagickCore-6.Q16.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libMagickCore.so

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libMagick++-6.Q16.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libMagick++.so

I've recently switched to using http://wiki.ros.org/aruco_detect (although https://github.com/pal-robotics/aruco_ros can probably do a lot of the same things). When I remove my attempt at making a simulator and my modded version of APRIL tags, the dependencies of this section will change a lot.

Questions

What parts does the Tinyrobo even smaller use?

31 parts, built around the DRV8830DRC, MCP73831 and GF1A. 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 Tinyrobo even smaller KiCad files?

From the ab3nd/TinyRobo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad_files/tiny_robo_v2/tinyrobo_even_smaller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tinyrobo even smaller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ab3nd before reusing the design.
