The RISE Self-Driving Model Vehicle Platform

This is the source code and hardware design for a model vehicle platform developed and maintained by the VESC project (formerly at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden). The platform has support for cars with Ackermann steering, robots with differential steering and partial support for quadcopters.

Self-Driving in this context means that the vehicles can follow a pre-programmed path outdoors accurately using RTK-GNSS. The paths can be edited using RControlStation as a set of points with different time stamps or velocities, depending on the mode. It is also possible to send paths to the…

RCCAR IF Board GPS: common questions

What microcontroller does the RCCAR IF Board GPS use?

The RCCAR IF Board GPS is built around the STM32F40X_LQFP100, from the STM32 family.

How big is the RCCAR IF Board GPS?

The RCCAR IF Board GPS measures 81 × 55 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RCCAR IF Board GPS?

170 components, from 72 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RCCAR IF Board GPS design files?

From the vedderb/rise_sdvp repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RCCAR IF Board GPS design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which vedderb chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the RCCAR IF Board GPS without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
