Roborio Installation - Kauai Labs VMX-pi User Manual

Installation
Assembly with Raspberry Pi
The first step is to solder the 40-pin GPIO Connector Block to the Raspberry Pi Zero W, with the
long ends of the header block point upwards from the top of the board.
Then, the standoffs included with VMX-pi can be used as shown below to stabilize the two
boards relative to each other and to create a set of stable "legs" upon which to mount the
assembly onto a Robot.
Alternatively, an enclosure can be 3D-printed and used instead of the standoffs to create an
solid enclosure which can be mounted to the Robot.
VMX-pi may be powered by unregulated 12VDC from the Power Distribution Panel (PDP) and
communicate with the RoboRIO via several methods:
Ethernet
USB
CAN
