Microcontroller Setup 🖥️

This section explains how to set up the Arduino Nano Every and prepare the Python environment for the Delta6 system.

📦 Firmware Repository:
The firmware code for the Arduino Nano Every is available here:
Delta6 Firmware on GitHub

1. Download the Repository​

Clone the Delta6 project repository:

git clone https://github.com/ttopeor/Delta6_Doc.git

2. Create and Activate Python Environment​

Navigate to the Python SDK folder:

cd delta6_python_SDK

📌 Tip: Ensure that Python 3.12 is installed on your system.

Create a virtual environment:

python3.12 -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment:

  • On Ubuntu:

    source venv/bin/activate

  • On Windows:

    source venv/Scripts/activate

Install all required dependencies:

pip install -e .

3. Burn Firmware to Arduino​

Check the COM port (for example /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux) where your Arduino Nano Every is connected.
Then run the following command:

python burn_firmware.py --port /dev/ttyACM0

🧩 Tip: Adjust the --port argument according to your specific system setup.

4. Verify Operation​

Run the example script:

python example.py --port /dev/ttyACM0

If successful, a window should pop up similar to:

The coordinate system is defined as follows:

🎯 Congratulations!
Your microcontroller setup is complete, and the Delta6 system is ready for further testing and calibration.
