General instructions
In high-vibration applications (such as drones) it is required to secure all screw connections using an appropriate thread-locker. Failure to do so might result in loss of flight and/or property damage or personal injury. Even non-structural screws must be secured, as loose screws can cause short-circuits or mechanically damage board components.
Included items
The Open.OC2 board comes packaged with the following items:
| Qty | Item | Picture |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open.OC2 carrier board |
|
| 1 | Cube Orange FMU | |
| 1 | NVIDIA Jetson Nano production module | |
| 2 | M2.5 x 6.6mm PCB spacer | |
| 2 | M2.5 x XXXmm screws | |
| 4 | MXXX x XXXmm screws (for cube) | |
| 4 | ESC cable: JST-GH(4) <==> 2xDupont(3) | |
| 1 | Ethernet cable: JST-GH(8) <==> JST-GH(8) | |
| 1 | Ethernet adapater board: JST-GH(8) <==> RJ-45 | |
| 1 | USB adapter cable: JST-GH(4) <==> micro-USB(F) | |
| 1 | RC cable: JST-GH(3) <==> Dupoint(3) | |
| 1 | VESC cable: JST-GH(3) <==> Wires | |
| 2 | Power cable: JST-XH(2) <==> Wires |
Install steps
- Install the provided spacer posts on the Open.OC2 board.
- Mount the Jetson Nano module on the Open.OC board.
- Carefully insert the edge connector into the SODIMM-slot and gently push down until the locking mechanism engages.
- Secure the module using the provided M2.5 screws.
- Place the Cube on the board in the designated area taking care to use the correct orientation and gently push down until a faint click can be felt.
- The Cube should be flush on the board.
- Secure the Cube using the provided 4 screws.
- Optional: Install mini PCIExpress hardware
- Insert the mini-PCIE module into the connector.
- Then, gently push down the module and secure using 2x M2.5 screws.
- Optional: Connect Ethernet
- Using the provided cable and adapter board connect your board to your local LAN
- Required for firmware flashing: Install USB
- Use the provided micro-USB adapter cable and a standard USB-A - microUSB cable to connect the Open.OC2 board to a PC.
- Connect power
- Use the provided power connectors to connect the Open.OC2 board to a power source.
- Note the voltage rating (9 V - 26 V).
- During operation it is recommended to connect both power connectors to an independent power source. However, the board will run fine on a single power source, useful for example for initial setup etc.
The board is now ready to be flashed, instructions can be found here: Firmware installation
