FTC Installation
To ensure the +5V from the DIM is used to power the navX-MXP board circuitry, ensure
that the "Voltage Select" jumper is set to 5V.
Electrical Wiring Verification
If properly wired, when power is applied to the DIM, the Red 3.3V LED on the navX-MXP should
light up.
Double-check that the SDA and the SCL wires on the DIM match the corresponding pins on the
navX-MXP circuit board.
Physical Installation on the Robot
The navX-MXP circuit board should be mounted such that it is firmly attached to the robot
chassis. The quality of this mounting will be directly reflected in the quality of navX-MXP
inertial measurements. To ensure quality, carefully follow these guidelines:
Whereever the navX-MXP circuit board is placed, it should be tightly mounted; it should
be a part of the chassis mass, and should move exactly as the chassis moves. Avoid
mounting the navX-MXP circuit board in an area of the chassis that might be flexible, as
this could introduce vibration to the inertial sensors that does not represent the chassis
inertial properties.
The navX-MXP circuit board should be mounted in the center of the chassis, which
ensures the origin of the yaw/pitch/roll axes truly represent the chassis center.
Be sure to understand the
chassis, and decide whether
