Leaderboard Full Board - J5 Minion 

 Image Modified

Leaderboard Zoomed In – J5 Minion 

...

  • Connections (Leaderboard -> Lighting Board) using single wires 
    • Extra GPIO Connector (J24 on Leaderboard)
    • PB4->CRUZPB4→CRUZ_ST // Review if these n
    • PB5->BRAKELIGHT 
  • All other switches and lights necessary should be wired to their appropriate ports on the lighting board, as seen in the diagram above. 
  • Some internal lights are now deprecated as the display is used to indicate car state.

...

  • Connector Type TE_4-2172079-2
  • Will connect to Tritium WaveSculptor Motor Controller using single wires (connector being made)
  • On the leaderboard, look at the back of the Motor CAN connector at the top of the board to match the pins to the KiCAD image 
  • Using single wires, connect the leaderboard to either CAN port on the motor controller using the below diagram (skipping the two shield pins) connectpr

 

 

6. Connect the brake and pedal lines from the sim-board or pedals to the leaderboard. (J10 and J11, using the 3x2 molex connectors) 

...

To connect the JTAG connections on the nucleo's programmer to the leaderboard, follow the pictures below. Starting from the top of the nucleo board, pin 1 is VCC, pin 2 SCK, pin 3 is GND, and pin 4 is SWO.  (Be careful not to accidentally mix up the GND & SWO, they should be switched on the leaderboard end of the connection).

  • Connect the Nucleo’s micro-USB port to laptop (debugger control)

...

11. The Controls Leader Board Power Connector (J9J7) needs to be connected to the BPS Power Connector (J7) in order to have supplemental power.  

...

  1. Set up the Leaderboard: hook up the motor CAN connector (type TE_4-2172079-2 connector at the top of the board) to the motor controller, hook up the CAN terminator (3x2 Molex connector with resistor soldered in), and hook up the main power connector to 12V. These are the only strictly necessary connections, specific tests might require more 
  2. Turn the 12V power supply on (both the motor controller and Leaderboard should be on) 
  3. Turn the high-voltage power supply on (it should start around 15-20V) 
  4. Slowly increase the input voltage. Stop at nominal voltage, around 96V. (Insert picture here) 
  5. Tests running on the testbench need to ensure that no regen braking will take place. This is usually done by hardcoding the velocity sent to the motor as some unattainable value (say 20,000 RPM) 
  6. If anything seems off, turning off the 12V power supply to the motor controller will immediately cut off power to the motor 



Debugging:

If unable to flash, or just straight buggin, run:   st-flash erase

Then reflash.
