LT1

LT1 is the land training platform for learning vehicle maneuvering skills.

Software Components

RSA application

• Uses the EDC library for controlling electronic devices.
• Uses the Raspberry Pi Pico C SDK

RTC application

• Uses the Core library.
• Operating environment based on Yocto 5.0 (Scarthgap)
• Uses the ROS 2 library.

Hardware Components

• Raspberry Pi Pico W based RSA unit that controls the sensors and motors and provides remote control capabilities.
• Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 based RTC unit for computer vision and ROS integration.
• Waveshare Nano Base Board (B) for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4
• Arexx RP5 tracked vehicle chassis with 2 DC motors.
• 7.4 V lithium-polymer battery
• Sensors
  • HC-SR04 ultrasonic range sensor

The design of LT1 is open. The project files are available on GitLab.
