THE NEORACER V1 SPECIFICATIONS.
This is the canonical spec sheet. Every other docs page that quotes a number links back to this one, so if a value changes it changes in exactly one place. If you ever spot a number that disagrees somewhere else on the site, this page is the one to trust.
THE COMPUTE STACK.
THE ONBOARD SENSORS.
Every sensor publishes to a fixed ROS 2 topic that the racecar-neo-library reads through. The values below are what the topics carry.
THE DRIVETRAIN.
Real Ackermann steering geometry, single rear-drive motor through a sealed gearbox, hobby-grade ESC. Detailed motor / servo / gearing values live on the Drivetrain page.
- Steering: servo-driven Ackermann front axle. Range mapped to
rc.drive.set_speed_angle(_, angle)in [-1, +1]. Center pinned via servo center. - Motor: brushed RC motor through a pre-assembled gearbox.
rc.drive.set_speed_angle(speed, _)takes speed in [-1, +1]. - Watchdog: the MCU (microcontroller unit) cuts power if no drive command arrives within ~150 ms, so a crashed Python script halts the car within a couple of frames.
THE POWER SYSTEM.
Due to various international shipping regulations, Neobotics does not directly sell LiPo batteries. The Hardware power page has the full specifications and a buying guide so you can find a pack that fits.
