Complete Guide for Building the Agipix Hardware Platform
Material checklist
Carbon fibre cuts
Use the supplied cutting patterns available at cad/Fab/CF and use a water-jet cutting method to cut.
| File name | Material |
|---|---|
| tocut_1_5mm_500x600.dxf | 500x600x1.5mm |
| tocut_1_5mm_500x600.dxf | 500x600x1.5mm |
| tocut_4mm_500x500.dxf | 500x500x4.0mm |
Postprocessing of parts
Some CF parts need extra processing to support lataral fitting.

3D printed parts
Use the supplied 3D printable stl files available at cad/Fab/3D_prints and use followig settings to print them
- Filament: AmazonBasics TPU (preferred for durability);
- Nozzle: 0.4 mm
- Layer height: 0.2 mm
- Infill: 40% gyroid/cubic; 70% for bushings/adaptors
-
Temperatures: TPU 235–245°C nozzle
- Post-processing: deburr, ream holes, clean support interfaces

Assembly
Low level assembly and test
In this step we setup following componenets before the low level test
- Frame
- Power, Bttery
- ESC
- Motors
- Radio reciever
- Telemetry radio
- Flight Controller
Finally we do a seris of manual flight tests to verify

High level Assembly
In this step we setup following componenets before attempting high level controls
- Top plate
- USB to TTL or RS323-USB converter
- Jetson Orin NX with Hadron carrier
- Wifi antenna
- Wiring and Complient frame stiffner
Note: TODO: Detailed steps with images
Now we are ready to Firmware setup. See Instructions to continue.
Sensor Assembly
In this step we setup following componenets before attempting high level controls
- Carbon Fibre Sensor Cage
- Livox Mid-360 Lidar
- (Optional) RGB camera
- (Optional) RGBD camera
