Software pre-requisites
USB UART Driver https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Arduino IDE - https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Visit https://github.com/Fri3dCamp/Fri3dBadge

In Arduino IDE: Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library ...
Also read the README in this zip for tips on how to configure Arduino IDE for the Fri3d Badge.
Build instructions
YouTube video met bouwinstructies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcMtFPezIq0
- Robot body can be assembled inside out, with motors oriented wrongly
- Battery is difficult to fit, but it does fit
- Careful assembling the feet, don't push in the center, but at the sides or you risk breaking the wood
- After assembling the feet and hips and before fitting everything together, calibrate the motors
- Some examples during building:
Calibrate motors
Install calibration program
- where do I find the calibration program?
- If you have installed the Fri3dcamp library inside the arduino IDE, you can find the calibration under the following menu item:
- File > Example > Fri3d Camp Badge > 4.Kits > RobotKit > MotorCalibratie
- how to calibrate the servo's?
- Once the calibration program has been flashed on the badge (use USB port of Badge, not on motor controller), you will be able to calibrate the servo's.
- The following buttons can be used to navigate and manipulate the application:
-
- BOOT
- Go to the next step in the progress (the step you are in is visible as the number of LEDs lit in left displays)
- BTN0
- Up
- BTN1
- Down
- Choose the servo to calibrate (S0/S1/S2/S3 is shown on right display)
- Navigate the servo to the 0 degrees position (left display shows "-")
- Navigate the servo to the 180 degrees position (left display shows "+")
- Save your changes (with buttons select "V" on right display instead of "X" on left display)
- Questions
- Need for detailed description for physical manipulations during calibration, for each motor:
- what is 0/180 degree reference (left or right, direction w.r.t. robot, mirrored or same for left and right motors?)
- what is best assembled, what unassembled or temporary assembled during calibration?
- what to do w.r.t. the physical range of the motor, which is only slightly larger than 180 degrees?
- how to continue calibration when motor starts vibrating at end of range?
