Introduction
Overview
The SDP Mini is a small-size development platform designed by SLAMTEC for evaluating the performance of modular autonomous robot localization
and navigation solution(SLAMWARE solution for short).
It is assembled by key components including SLAMWARE Core, RPLIDAR A2 and Breakout 3.0 board, and requires only 8 AA batteries to run well
without concerns about batteries and charging.
The SDK of SDP Mini, supported to run in Windows/Linux/IOS and Android environment, integrates the whole SLAMWARE solution and extra
reserved sensor interfaces.
With SDP Mini, users can have a general understanding about the SLAMWARE solution and examine its basic performance. Run as the most
compact structure which realizes the basic SLAMWARE solution, it is suitable for the preliminary evaluation of SLAMWARE solution or the
development of robots with basic needs for localization and navigation function.
Key components

SLAMWARE Core
It provides autonomous localization and navigation based on RPLIDAR and supports for communicating the navigation information via serial port and
Ethernet bus.
For detailed specification, please refer to .KBSW180102 SLAMWARE Core
SLAMWARE Breakout 3.0
As a shield for SLAMWARE Core, it provides the interfaces that can connect directly to RPLIDAR, network, PC, motor and varies sensors, which
facilitates the software and hardware development based on the SLAMWARE Core.
RPLIDAR A2
It performs 2D 360-degree LIDAR scan in a range, and the generated 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and object
/environment modeling. In SDP Mini, it provides raw data of the environment for SLAMWARE Core to analyze and handle.
Motor
The brush motor, with a simple schematic diagram, realizes the moving function of SAMWARE solution in SDP Mini, and it is easy to launch, control
or improve.
The diagram is as below:

Tools and usage
Tools with GUI
Robot Studio
It is a tool with graphical user interface for connecting to SLAMTEC devices. With this tool, users can control and debug SDP Mini in mapping, moving
and other operations.
Please refer to for the detailed function description.KBSW180113 RoboStudio User Manual
SLAMWARE Web Portal
SLAMTEC has designed a web portal tool to provide general operations for SLAMWARE devices during the developing, debugging and using
process. With this tool, users can check the basic information of SLAMWARE Core, update firmware, configure WiFi and diagnose the robot visually.
Currently supported operations are as below:
Check the device information
Restart module
Update firmware
Configure WiFi
Turn on SLAMWARE Core diagnose mode
Modify the password for administrator
Please check for detailed usage.KBSW180153 SLAMWARE Web Portal Function Overview 1
Mobile application
SLAMTEC has designed mobile application for SDP Mini. It covers the basic moving control, localization and navigation function. After binding the
device to the mobile phone, users can control the SDP Mini successfully.

Other tools
Slamware Console
Slamware Console is a development tool for SLAMWARE SDK. It is used for debugging the implementation of Control Bus protocol, checking the
sensor status configured in the base and the data of odometer and wheels. For details, please refer to .KBSW180110 Slamware Console
slamware_config_tool
slamware_config_tool is a base configuration tool that can set the base diameter, the wheel base and the charging mode. For details, please refer to K

Unbinding SDP Mini and reset WiFi
when the SDP Mini is required to bind to another account of RoboHome mobile application or the network changes, the SDP Mini needs to be
unbound first, and after resetting Wifi, it can be bound to another account or be found in a new network environment. The steps are as below:
Turn on the SW1 switch on the SLAMWARE Breakout 3.0 of SDP Mini to launch the device;
Log in to the RoboHome with the account which is bound with the SDP Mini Refresh the and the bound SDP MiniDevice Center
will be online Click in the upper right corner to enter editing mode Click the crash bin icon in the right of the SDP mini ClickEdit Yes,

When the network changes, follow the following steps to switch the Station mode back to AP mode so that we can reassign the ip
address:
As shown below, remove the jumper in J22 on Breakout 3.0 board of SDP Mini and put it on the GND pin and RX2 pin of
the same interface, then restart the SDP Mini. (Except for the buzz of normal launch, the SDP Mini will emit a longer buzz
to indicate a successful WiFi reset. )
After launching the SDP Mini, connect it to the computer with network cable, and then login to 192.168.11.1 in Chrome( Defa
). Go to on the upper right corner of the page choose ult username: admin; default password: admin111 Administration Co
on the left panel choose button in the bottom of the page.nfigure WiFi Restore
After resetting, please turn the switch off and put the jumper back to normal state to ensure that the SDP Mini
will work well later.
