This repository is one of two repositories hosting the codebase for the Triforce robot. The repositories are versioned and released seperately. Links to the repositories are below.
The Triforce Control firmware (mbed OS) runs on an LPC1768 (ARM Cortex M3). The firmware is responsible for controlling the robot.
The Triforce Telemetry repository hosts firmware (FreeRTOS) for the ESP8266 WiFi chip. This microcontroller works alongside the mbed to provide telemetry functionality via an HTTP server.
The ESP8266 allows us to communicate telemetry from Triforce to connected mobile devices (tablets, laptops, mobile phones). We also control non-safety critical settings such as LED lights from the mobile device.
| Device | Firmware | Language |
|---|---|---|
| LPC1768 | mbed OS | C++ |
| ESP8266 | FreeRTOS | C |
| Sensor | Purpose | Communication |
|---|---|---|
| BNO055 | Orientation, direction, acceleration | I2C |
A development environment can be configured on Windows or Linux. Instructions can be found here.
