Test the PCC
Physical Setup:
On your PCC, we'll need to make use of a USB power jumper to power the servos from our laptop.
MAKE SURE to ONLY use the jumper when testing with your laptop. NEVER use the USB power jumper when the PCC is connected to the Jetson. This is because the servos may draw enough current in certain scenarios that would cause the current protection to trip on the power supply and power off the Jetson regardless of what it's doing.
Plug your servos and LED strip into the designated connections on the PCC:
The LED strip plugs into the prop-maker featherwing
The servos plug into channels 0-3, with the yellow signal wire of the servo facing the Adafruit logo on the PCB.
Back at the Computer:
Open VS Code
Open PCC -> Python folder
On the bottom left, select our VRC env
Connect the PCC to your computer.
Open the gui_test.py file
Click the play button
Select the COM Port that corresponds to your PCC (I have tried on two machines, it should enumerate to COM 6)
Click around and try the different buttons, your PCC should light up the LED and move some servos!
