2. npm
3. Python 3.X.X
4. Mosquitto MQTT Broker v2.0.10
5. Quartus 16.1
6. NIOS II (comes with Quartus 16.1 installation)

3. ARDUINO IDE SETTINGS

3.1. ESP32 Upload Settings:

• Board Name/Type: ESP32 Dev Module
• Partition: HUGE APP

3.2. Arduino Upload Settings:

• Board Name/Type: Arduino Nano Every

3.3. Known Problems With Uploading Scripts

• Arduino will not accept sketch uploads if SMPS is not powered
• ESP32 will not upload if UART cables are still plugged in

4. ROVER

First Time Setup

• Follow "How to..." instructions within the Command_Subsystem folder for either local or AWS server
• Follow "Drive_Control_integration.ino" instructions within the Drive_Subsystem folder to setup APIs for the Arduino
• Configure config.h in /path/Control_Subsystem/Control_program/control_program using the instructions within Control_Subsystem folder

4.2. Rover Setup

1. Turn on SMPS power, unplug UART cables
2. Follow "How to start..." instructions within Command_Subsystem folder for either local or AWS server
3. Run 'start_server.sh' within /path/Command_Subsystem/server
4. Upload the .sof file found in /path/Vision_Subsystem/sof_elf_files/v8_final using the Quartus Programmer
5. Upload the .elf file found in /path/Vision_Subsystem/sof_elf_files/v8_final using NIOS II
6. Upload the Arduino file Drive_Control_Integration.ino found in /path/Drive_Subsystem/Arduino_Code using the Arduino IDE with the correct settings
7. Unplug the UART cables from the ESP32
8. Upload the ESP32 file found in /path/Control_Subsystem/Control_program/control_program using the Arduino IDE with the correct settings
9. Plug in the UART cables
10. Wait for LED8 on SMPS to turn on before sending instructions

4.3. Sending Instructions to Rover

1. Navigate to the website npm start opened
2. Login using the appropriate credentials found within the Command_Subsystem folder
3. Select Discrete or Coordinate mode from the top menu
4. Send instructions using boxes the provided fields
