CHAMP_Battlebox

This is the Raspberry Pi 4, and Arduino interface for our battlebox.

Touch Screen Configuration/Setup

We expect the touch screen to be attached to the pi 4 in the HDMI 1 position.

Make sure to configure the touch screen so it attaches to the first monitor. crontab -l will display the crontab for the current user pi.

We added @reboot xinput map-to-output 6 HDMI-1 to the file in order to correctly identify and add the touch interface to the touch screen monitor.

Setting up the arduino

The following instructions were used to set up the pi to talk the the arduino. https://roboticsbackend.com/raspberry-pi-arduino-serial-communication/

We are expecting to connect throught the USB port.

sudo adduser your_username dialout

needed to install a special driver for the arduino nano that was being used: This was used to get communication working via windows at first: https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html

The arduino nano worked under linux when selecting the ATmega328 version of the nano from boards in the arduino IDE.
