JetRacer Peripherals and Libraries Repository

This repository serves as a centralized location to document and manage all peripherals, libraries, and related code integrated into the JetRacer project.

Purpose

The goal of this repository is to:

• Keep track of all peripherals added to the JetRacer, including sensors, cameras, and other hardware components.
• Store and document libraries for communication protocols.
• Maintain code associated with each peripheral for easier management and collaboration.

Current Peripherals

1. Speed Sensor

• Description: Measures the vehicle's real-time speed and transmits the data to the system.
• Hardware: Arduino-based speed sensor.
• Communication Protocol with Jetson Nano: CAN Bus.
• Code: The Arduino code for processing and transmitting speed data is located in the Pheripherals/speed-sensor directory.
• Setup:
  • Connect the speed sensor to the Arduino as per the wiring diagram (included in the Pheripherals/speed-sensor directory).
  • Upload the provided code to the Arduino.

Libraries

1. I2C Library

• Description: A library for interfacing with devices over the I2C communication protocol.
• Location: /Communication/I2C.
• Usage: Include the library in your project to communicate with I2C-compatible peripherals.

2. CAN Bus Library

• Description: A library for communication using the CAN protocol, enabling data exchange between devices like the Jetson Nano and the arduino.
• Location: /Communication/CAN.
• Usage: Import the library to implement CAN-based communication for connected devices.

Adding New Peripherals

To maintain consistency, follow the steps below when adding a new peripheral to the repository:

1. Create a New Directory: Create a directory for the peripheral (e.g., /camera for a camera module inside /Pheripherals).
2. Add Documentation: Include a README.md file in the directory with:
   • Peripheral Description: Explain the purpose and function of the device.
   • Connection Details: Provide a wiring diagram or description.
   • Code Details: Describe the code provided in the directory and how to use it.
3. Update the Main README: Add a section for the new peripheral, linking to its directory.
