Basics
- The latest version of the Microtrack controller whic is used to control the hydraulic system of MicroTrac
Used For
Industry Standards
N/A
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
- Steamline previous version MicroTrac Controller v17.10
- Simplify Remote Box
- Use built in battery pack
- Dual Hot Swappable Removable Batteries as Well
- Charge and Data I/O through same USB cable
- USB-C Possiby? Could get a huge power throughput then for quick charing via the "Power Distribution Standard"
- Ruggedized (ie Water, Dust, Dirt, Temperature, Humidity, and Shock/Vibration Proof)
- Modular
- Easily Maintainable + Expandable
Basic Design
Removable Batteries
- 2x Minimum Per Controller
- Contains a LiPo Battery in a 3D Printed Enclosure
- Has Rails on the outside of the enclosure for insertion into the Battery Module, or the External Battery Charger
Battery Module
- 2x Minimum Slots Per Controller
- Distributes battery power to all electronics, monitors+displays battery levels, and does intigrated charging
- Has AC, and DC Ports for Power In (120V AC In + Alternator" and a "USB-C IN")
- Has some sort of LED Indicator Screen/Very Basic LCD Screen for battery level indication
- Distributes DC Power By a 10 USB-C Port HUB (oversized to allow for further expansion) (also note this one is for power delivery only NOT DATA)
Brains Module
- 1x Rasberry Pi for IO + Screens
- ?x Arduino(s) for servo contol
- ?x Servo Breakout Boards(s) for servo control
- 1x 10 Port USB-C HUB (oversized to allow for further expansion) (This one is mainly for Data and minor power requirements)
Automation Module
- Allows for use of the Remote Operation Construction Set or automation technology such as
- Uses those modules connected by two USB-C Cables (1 for power (to the Battery Module HUB) and one for data (to the Brains Module HUB)
Networking Module
- 1x Control Single Board PC connected to the brains module
- ?x USB-C IN
- ?x Ethernet in (1GB Most Likely)
- ?x Wifi Antenna
- ?x Cellular (4/5g most likely) Antenna(s)
- ?x Sattalite Antenna(s)
- ?x LORAN Antenna(s)
- ?x GPS Antenna(s)
- ?x RC Antenna(s)
BOM
Tentative BOM
- USB Breakout Board Sparkfun
- LiPo Battery Sparkfun
- LiPo Charger Sparkfun
