Welcome to the 3rd Annual CyberTractorChallenge!
Welcome Participants!
Congratulations on joining the 3rd Annual CyberTractorChallenge! We're thrilled to have you on board for this exciting event. Your participation helps drive innovation and creativity in the realm of agricultural cybersecurity.
Your Challenge Badge
We are excited to introduce you to your custom challenge badge. This badge is not just a token of participation, but a powerful tool you can use for the competition. Here’s a quick rundown of some of its features and inner workings:
Badge Overview
Your badge is powered by an OLIMEX ESP32-EVB board. This versatile board is equipped with several key capabilities that you can use utilize during the challenge:
- ETHERNET: For high-speed wired network connectivity.
- WIFI: For wireless communication and IoT applications.
- CAN (Controller Area Network): For robust vehicle and industrial communication, crucial in automotive and agricultural technology.
Getting Started
- Power Up: Connect your badge to a power source using a USB cable.
- Connectivity: The board is programmed using micropython so feel free to use Thonny to check out the base code.
- Base Code: We've provided a base code to get you started. This code initializes the board and sets up basic WIFI communication protocols and provides a pretty light show. The base code is provided by the Aask Ltd. FTC Fancy Lights Repo [https://github.com/Aask42/ftc_fancy_lights.git].
Your Mission
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the base code to make your badge do something cool. The possibilities are endless, and we encourage you to think outside the box. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Remote Control: Create a remote control interface using WiFi or Ethernet.
- Data Logging: Implement a system to log data from the CAN bus.
Resources
To help you get started, we've provided the following resources:
