Control System parts and their functions
6 top-level parts · 8 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Control PCB | 1× | Main computer board running navigation loop, motor control, and scheduling. |
| 2 | Proximity Sensor | 2× | LiDAR or ultrasonic sensor detecting obstacles and fence line edges. |
| 3 | Inertial Measurement Unit | 1× | Accelerometer and gyroscope tracking heading and position for dead-reckoning navigation. |
| 4 | Microcontroller | 1× | Single-chip microcontroller combining a processor core, flash memory, RAM, and peripherals such as timers, ADCs, and serial ports to run the device's control firmware. |
| 5 | Connector | 2× | Mating plug-and-socket pair that joins two lengths of wiring or a cable to a board so a circuit can be assembled, serviced, and separated without soldering. |
| 6 | Relay | 1× | Electromechanical switch in which a small coil current closes or opens contacts rated for a much larger load, isolating control circuits from what they switch. |
