LattePanda FRC Driver Station

This is Garnet Squadron's next iteration to the control board. This one dumps the typical laptop and opts for a LattePanda Windows 10 single-board computer with Arduino Leonardo Co-Processor. This repo will hold Windows software, Arduino firmware, design files, and documentation.

Features

  • 16 20mA LED Outputs
  • 16 General Purpose I/O
  • 16 Analog Inputs
  • 16 PWM Outputs
  • Backup battery for safe shutdowns
  • Auto power-on with AC connect
  • LattePanda
    • Windows 10 Professional
    • 4GB RAM
    • 64GB SSD
    • Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 Quad Core 1.8GHz
    • 3 USB Ports (2 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0)
    • Ethernet 10/100
    • 7" Capacitive Touch Screen (1024 x 600)
    • WiFi
    • Bluetooth

How it works

The Arduino Leondaro connects with I/O expansion chips:

  • Microchip MCP23017 - 16-Bit GPIO Expander with I2C Interface
  • NXP PCA9685 - 16 channel PWM Driver
  • TI CD74HC4067 Analog Multiplexer
  • TI TLC59282 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Driver

There is a 2000 mAh LiPo battery that can provide backup power for an estimated 1 hour. While the battery life isn't great, the intended purpose is to provide power long enough to shutdown Windows 10 between matches. Override inputs will be available to:

  • Keep the board powered on until battery life reaches ~5%
  • Power button to turn on the system even when off of AC power.
