robotont-electronics-mainboard

This repository contains electronics schematics and PCB layout of the Robotont 3 mainboard. The project is developed in KiCAD 8 and offers production files for JLCPCB.

Schematics

The scematics of this project have been organized into multiple hierarchical sheets according to the robot subsystems. An outline of the pdf is as follows:

• Robotont mainboard
  • Motor drivers
  • Power management
  • DC-DC converter (for power management)
  • DC-DC converters (for MCU, EXT devices, etc)
  • DC-DC converter (for motors)
  • External device support
  • Addressable LEDs

Board layout

The following 3D rendering illustrates the PCB design of the Robotont 3 mainboard.

Setting up for development

Download KiCAD:

If you're on Ubuntu, here's a snippet:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kicad/kicad-8.0-releases -y
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install kicad

Add JLCPCB plugin to KiCAD

... for managing rotations and generating production files
