Compatibility Inquiry: JetBot AI Kit v3.0 with Official NVIDIA JetBot Library

  1. Yes, although we might have different views of ‘major’…changing an i2c address might be the simplest type of modification possible :-/ Anyhow, be sure to follow the notes from our guide!

"The Instructions Below are Deprecated!!!

Attention: These instructions specifically pertained to Nvidia’s original instructions, hosted in their Wiki. However, these instructions no longer work with the latest JetPack operating system or the latest JetBot code. Their latest releases implement a docker container for the code.

Attention: The SD card in this kit comes pre-flashed to work with our hardware and has the all the modules installed (including the sample machine learning models needed for the collision avoidance and object following examples). The only software procedures needed to get your JetBot running are steps 2-4 from the Nvidia instructions (i.e. setup the WiFi connection and then connect to the JetBot using a browser). Please DO NOT format or flash a new image on the SD card; otherwise, you will need to flash our image back onto the card (instructions below)."

  1. Yes, the motor stuff is identical…v2.x → 3.0 was basically just a couple minor changes (battery pack brands, updated OS image on included SD card)
