Assembly Guide

Be sure to understand the following content before assembling.
1. Since this product uses a large number of servos, the servos are used as the component of the angle changing mechanism, and the wrong assembly will cause the robot to fail to operate normally.
2. Refer to the product assembly tutorial,use the correct screws to assemble the corresponding module, otherwise it may cause the angle deadband of the Leg link action to be too large or damage the structural parts.
3. When it comes to the assembly part of the anti-loose nut, the tightening degree of the nut should not be too tight or it cannot rotate normally, nor too loose or it will shake outside the rotation plane.
4. All the above problems can be avoided as long as the following assembly instructions are strictly followed.
5. We also provide a pre-assembled version package and the servo is callibrated, so you do not need to assemble.

WAVEGO Multi-function Expansion Interface

  • Since ESP32 has higher computing power and integrates WIFI and Bluetooth, and supports the use of Arduino IDE for development, we choose ESP32 as the main control chip of WAVEGO. Multi-function expansion interface as shown in the figure below.

QQ截图20211231144138.png

  • As shown in the example above, connecting G12 and 3V3 can make the device enter assembly mode.
  • LED: There are two RGB LEDs on the driver board, and the numbers on the program are 0 and 1 respectively. If you need to connect more RGB-LEDs (WS2812), you can extend this interface. Correspondingly, the numbers start from 2.
  • The control functions:
  • LED_NUM: The number of the lamp beads, such as two on the control board, then LED_NUM is 0 or 1. If the first lamp bead expanded on the LED-OUT port is controlled, LED_NUM=2.
setSingleLED(LED_NUM, matrix.Color(R, G, B));
  • G21:This IO is also used to control the buzzer on the driver board. When G21 is low, the buzzer starts to sound, and when G21 is high, the buzzer does not sound.
  • G15:This IO port is not used, you can use these two IO ports to expand other modules.
  • G12:By default, this IO port is used to set the assembly mode. When the G12 is connected to the 3V3, the device enters the assembly mode. In this mode, the RGB will turn orange, and control all the servos connected to the device to rotate to the middle of the encoder, and then install the steering gear swing arm according to the specified angle.
  • RX TX: Corresponding to the UART_0 of ESP32, it can be used to communicate with other devices. It can be connected to the TX RX of the Raspberry Pi, and it can communicate with each other after the ground is supplied.
  • Note: When the RX TX is connected with the TX RX of the Raspberry Pi, the automatic download function cannot be activated, so if you need to upload a new program to the ESP32, you need to disconnect the connection between UART_0 and the Raspberry Pi.
  • The row below <TX RX GND 5V 5V> can be used to connect the Raspberry Pi, 5V and GND can be used to power the Raspberry Pi, and TX RX can be used to communicate with the Raspberry Pi.

WAVEGO Onboard Devices and Interfaces

  • The WAVEGO driver board integrates a variety of devices, most of which use IIC control (GPIO 33 as SCL, GPIO 32 as SDA) to communicate with other devices, including: ICM20948 attitude sensor, PCA9685 servo control chip, INA219 voltage detection and OLED screen (SSD1306).
  • This guide is only used to introduce the interface. For API calls of specific programs, please refer to the API documentation of the product.

Raspberry Pi guides

  • The main control board of WAVEGO uses ESP32 for connecting rod inverse solution and gait generation, which is used to transmit to the servo for lower computer control. The positioning holes on WAVEGO can be used to install copper posts and fix Raspberry Pi 4B. WAVEGO uses multi-function The expansion interface supplies power to the Raspberry Pi, and uses UART0 to communicate with the Raspberry Pi. In the default program, the Raspberry Pi uses ttyS0 to communicate with the WAVEGO, with a baud rate of 115200.
  • We offer WAVEGO-RPi versions with Raspberry Pi expansion kits, RPI WAVEGO ACCE or PI4B-4GB WAVEGO KIT. For more information, please refer to the WAVEGO with Raspberry Pi WIKI homepage.
