Asimov DIY Kit path

This page covers unpowered physical inspection only. Both paths flash the boards later during common preparation setup.

Electronics Inventory

Account for:

  • Radxa CM5-based motion control board
  • Raspberry Pi 5
  • microSD storage and mounting hardware: TBC
  • power-distribution, conversion, switching, and protection hardware: TBC
  • wireless emergency stop and receiver
  • torso IMU
  • monocular camera
  • microphone array
  • speaker and associated electronics
  • Ethernet and supplied device cables

Inspect PCBs, sockets, headers, antennas, connectors, latches, mounting holes, storage, heatsinks, and supplied cables. Quarantine any unidentified revision or physical damage.

Raspberry Pi 5 is the only officially supported edge computer.

Battery Inspection

Confirm the supplied pack matches the Asimov 1 13S4P, 46.8 V, 10.5 Ah battery specification. Inspect its enclosure, lead, connector, terminals, and strain relief without charging or connecting it.

Keep the battery disconnected and its output protected throughout mechanical assembly.

TBC: electronics delivery state

Board SKUs and revisions, supplied mounting hardware, public image downloads and checksums, charger model, battery connector, fuse arrangement, power-distribution setup, and emergency-stop wiring are TBC.
