Finally, connect the CS, CLK, MISO and MOSI pins on the host computer (e.g., the RoboRIO)
to the corresponding CS, CLK, MISO and MOSI pins on the navX-MXP circuit board.
The SPI pins are 5V tolerant, so the host computer can use either 5V or 3.3V DC levels on
these pins.
The navX-MXP circuit board contains sensitive circuitry, and should be handled carefully.
An enclosure is recommended to protect the navX-MXP circuit board from excessive handling,
"swarf", electro-static discharge (ESD) and other elements that could potentially damage the
navX-MXP circuitry. The enclosure can also help prevent accidental shorts to ground which may
occur on the MXP Expansion I/O pins.
Build vs. Buy
Those who prefer to print the enclosure using their personal 3D printer, an enclosure design file
(in STL format) is available in the "enclosure" directory of the .
Those who prefer to purchase the enclosure can order it from (which takes approximately 2
weeks to deliver), or at the
will be approximately $20, depending upon the type of material used.
Design Files
The enclosure design files include:
navx-mxp.skp: Sketchup 3D Design File for the navX-MXP circuit board
navx-mxp-roborio-lid_v4.skp: Sketchup 3D Design File for a lid-style enclosure for the
