ORBIT: Assembling the Breadboard Joystick Controller

This project demonstrates how to construct the ORBIT Breadboard Joystick Controller. This controller can be used to control any of the ORBIT family of Breadboard robots.

To complete this project, you must have completed the circuitry.

TODO: add link to Circuit

1. Frame (3D Design in Onshape) (x1)
2. Standoffs (x8)
3. Joysticks (x2)
4. Breadboard-mounted circuitry (x1)

Install M3-6 standoffs on both sides of the frame where the joysticks will be mounted. There should be four on each side.

Using M3 screws, attach the left and right Joysticks to the standoffs, with the Joystick pins downward as shown. (The right side of the Joystick Controller is next to the battery pack holder.)

Firmly push the breadboards holding the circuitry into the slot provided for them on the frame. The breadboards should fit snugly.

Firmly press the Battery Holder into the slot provided for it on the frame. It should fit snugly.

Connect the battery leads to the Pico VSYS and GND pins.

Using Dupont male-to-female jumpers, connect the Joystick pins to the appropriate Pico pins.
