Introduction
TI-RSLK MAX (robotics system learning kit) is a low-cost
robotics kit whose objective is to teach a wide variety of
hands-on lab scenarios. The scenarios include embedded
systems, first-year engineering design, intro to robotics,
mechatronics, controls, IoT and connectivity, and machine
learning.
The newest addition to the TI-RSLK MAX is a DSP Adapter
Board that expands the learning kit's capabilities to include
labs related to Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
This DSP Adapter Board makes the TI-RSLK MAX compatible
with the LAUNCHXL-F28379D C2000 Delfino MCU F28379D
LaunchPad™ development kit and the BOOSTXL-AUDIO
Audio Signal Processing BoosterPack Plug-In Module.
The DSP Adapter Kit includes the drivers required to interact
smoothly with the motors, tachometers, bumper switches, and
LEDs from the TI-RSLK Chassis as well as drivers to output
and input sound through the BOOSTXL-AUDIO Audio Signal
Processing Booster Pack speaker and microphone.
The Kit includes a software development package with
examples displaying the FFT function from the DSP
Launchpad, UART Communication between the DSP
Launchpad and the EMIC 2 Text to Speech development
board.

The kit consists of the following:
1. PCB Breakout Board which includes:
a. 4 2x10 male headers
b. 2 2x10 female headers
c. 1 2x14 female headers.
d. 2 Red LEDs LTST-C190KRKT
e. 2 Green LEDs LTST-C190GKT
2. 2 1”- long #2-56 M-F aluminium standoffs
Not included in the kit :
1. Emic 2 Text-to-Speech module.
2. BOOSTXL-AUDIO Audio Signal Processing BoosterPack
a. TI DAC8311 14-bit digital-to-analog converter for
high-quality audio output
b. Onboard low-profile speaker
c. Onboard microphone with front-end amplifier
d. Volume control slider
e. TI TS3A225E for autonomous headset type
detection
f. 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in module standard for use
with any LaunchPad development kit.
3. TI-RSLK kit with Black Romi Chassis and redwheels which
includes :
a. Black Romi Chassis kit with red wheels
b. TI-RSLK chassis board assembly
c. 8-Channel QTRX Sensor aeeat for ROMI/TI RSLK
MAX
d. Left Bumper Switch assembly for TI-RSLK MAX
e. Right Bumper Switch assembly for TI-RSLK MAX
f. Gearmotor and encoder assembly (2)
g. 400-point breadboard with special mounting holes
and four 1”- long #2-56 M-F aluminium standoffs (
with scres and nuts for mounting.
4. LAUNCHXL-F28379D
In addition to the kit, you will need
some tools for assembly, in certain
portions you may require soldering,
please use proper precautions, and
follow lab safety rules.

Out of the Box Experience
The program that is included in
the DSP Adapter kit will utilize
the motors and tachometers in
the robot chassis to go straight
until it hits an obstacle. The
obstacle will be detected using
the front bumpers. Once it hits an
obstacle, it will turn left or right
depending on the bumpers that
are hit.
You will need to install the latest version of the Code Composer Studio to run the program. You will also import need to download
and install the latest version of C2000Ware and include all the header files in your project. Files can be found at:
