This page contains some miscellaneous notes about wiring on the [KR01] robot, included specifically
so that the robot can be disassembled and reassembled without confusion about which wire goes where.
[{TableOfContents}]
!! Overview
The KR01 is currently using up most of the available GPIO pins, with a bunch being used
by the [Mini PiTFT display|AdafruitMiniPiTFT] (which is optional). In the future we may offload the four encoder
pins to the daughterboard containing the [ItsyBitsy M4 Express]. Most IO connections are
planned to use the [I2C] bus.
We're not currently planning to use the PWM (pulse-width modulation), SPI, Serial (UART)
or other GPIO features, just digital IO.

For sensor wires, wires are orange or red for port, green for starboard (just like on a boat).
Requires pins for: , , ENCODER B2
GPIO pin 20 is reserved for something, I can't remember.

Mounted on the chassis, an [Adafruit Perma Proto Bonnet|https://www.adafruit.com/product/3203] serves to
collect the various power and sensor connections into three connectors: one six pin connector comprising the first six GPIO pins (including 5V, 3.3V, Ground, SDA and SCL), and two ten (2x5) pin connectors. These are almost IDC-style but instead use bespoke cables made using dual row wire housings (see [Small Dual Row Wire Housing Pack for DIY Jumper Cables|https://www.adafruit.com/product/3143]).
The upper __Starboard-Aft Board__ board provides two 10 pin connections to the lower board, which includes: the outputs from the bumpers (BP, BC and BS); infrared sensors (IRP, IRC and IRS); motor encoders (A1, A2, B1 and B2); indicator LED; and bypass/switched 5 volt sensor supply.
The color-coding of the jumper wires from the Starboard-Aft Board is as follows:
|| Color || Connection || GPIO Pin

| Green | Starboard Bumper | 26

!! ItsyBitsy M4 Express & BNO055 Daughterboard
[{Image src='attach/KR01WiringNotes/daughterboard-02.jpg' caption='ItsyBitsy M4 Express & BNO055 Daughterboard' align='center'}]
Earlier I'd experimented using a Perma-Proto board dedicated to holding an [ItsyBitsy M4 Express] and a [BNO055 9-Axis Absolute Orientation|BNO055ImuSensor] sensor. The various connections to and from the daughterboard are shown in the above photo. The two columns of cyan and magenta-coloured pins are used to explode the 5V supply, which are used for the bumper and infrared sensors.
This board is currently not functional. The BNO055 is theoretically incompatible with the Raspberry Pi (the I2C bus speed needs to be slowed), so the ItsyBitsy was used to drive the BNO055 (and potentially poll other sensors). It seems the BNO055 is working okay with the Pi so lately I've just been connecting it directly.
More experiments are in order.
