Robotics Erlangen e.V. – Open Source SSL Robot Hardware

Raw and compiled files for the open source hardware of the German SSL team ER-Force.

Commit Structure

Commits that have been tagged represent a self-contained robot state, i.e. the PCB's and mechanical components work well with each other.

Folder Structure

At the top level of the repository, there is a separate folder for each robot generation. Currently, only parts of our latest robot generation 'pasta' have been published. Each robot generation is divided into two sections: mechanics and electronics.

The electronics section has the following structure:

• boards: Contains a separate folder for each PCB that is part of the robot
• eagle: Contains generic libraries, design rule files, etc.

Within each PCB's folder, there are multiple subfolders:

• documents: A pdf version of the schematics as well as optional documentation
• eagle: The schematics and layout in the raw EAGLE file format, i.e.
  • the schematics (*.sch)
  • the layout (*.brd)
  • a library with all board-specific, non-generic components (*.lbr)
  • the design rule file used (*.dru)
  • the cam job used to generate the gerber files (*.cam)
• gerber: The compiled layout files, i.e.
  • the Gerber files
  • the Excellon drill files
  • the Pick & Place files for the top and bottom side
  • a bill of materials

Example

• /pasta: all files related to the 'pasta' generation
• /pasta/electronics: electronic files for the 'pasta' generation
• /pasta/electronics/eagle: generic eagle files usable accross multiple 'pasta' PCBs
• /pasta/electronics/boards: all PCBs used in the 'pasta' generation
• /pasta/electronics/boards/kicker: all data related to the kicker board of the 'pasta' generation
• /pasta/electronics/boards/kicker/eagle: the raw eagle data of the kicker board
• /pasta/electronics/boards/kicker/gerber: the compiled files of the kicker board
• /pasta/electronics/boards/kicker/documents: additional documentation for the kicker board (e.g. schematics as pdf)
