Coprocessor with regulator

  1. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to use one of the recommended power regulators to prevent vision from cutting out from voltage drops while operating the robot. We recommend wiring the regulator directly to the power header pins or using a locking USB C cable. In any case we recommend hot gluing the connector.

  2. Run an ethernet cable from your Pi to your network switch / radio.

This diagram shows how to use the recommended regulator to power a coprocessor.

Pigtails can be purchased from many sources we recommend (USB C) (Micro USB)

Coprocessor with Passive POE (Pi with SnakeEyes and Limelight)

  1. Plug the passive POE injector into the coprocessor and wire it to PDP/PDH (NOT the VRM).

  2. Add a breaker to relevant slot in your PDP/PDH

  3. Run an ethernet cable from the passive POE injector to your network switch / radio.

Off-Robot Wiring

Plugging your coprocessor into the wall via a power brick will suffice for off robot wiring.

Note

Please make sure your chosen power supply can provide enough power for your coprocessor. Undervolting (where enough power isn’t being supplied) can cause many issues.
