README

README.md

ROS Sync Node Hardware

Breaks out a Waveshare RP2040-Zero with 0.1" header pins for use as a ROS-enabled hardware sync node.

Requirements

KiCAD Files

Make sure to clone recursively so that you have the required libraries

text
git clone git@github.com:AndersonRayner/ros_sync_node_hw.git --recursive

Everything runs using kicad so you'll need that too.

Arduino

Add the Board Definition

Support in Arduino for the RP2040-Zero requires adding the board definition to the Boards Manager. Add the URL

text
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json

to File > Preferences > Additional Boards Manager URLs.

Install the Toolchain

Open up the boards manager Tools > Board > Boards Manager and install Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 by Earle F. Philhower, III.

Compile Software

The software designed for this board to allow it to act as a ROS sync node is available at ros_sync_node. Compile and upload it as Tools > Board > Raspberry Pi RP2040 Boards > Raspberry Pi Pico.

Questions

How big is the Ros sync node PCB?

It measures 42.5 × 38.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ros sync node use?

29 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 Ros sync node KiCad files?

From the AndersonRayner/ros_sync_node_hw repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ros_sync_node.kicad_pcb and its schematic ros_sync_node.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ros sync node design in my own project?

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