Device Setup

Once the device has been mounted and an appropriate power source has been identified, it is ready to be set up and configured.

Sensor & Power Connections

One physical connection is required for power, and one for the main sensor unit (CAM1). If a second sensor unit (CAM2) is required, that may also be connected. To connect the sensor and power to the Slamcore Aware device, follow these steps:

  1. Screw in the Wi-Fi antennas to the ANT1 and ANT2 connectors.
  2. Connect the FAKRA cable between the sensor and the port labelled CAM1 of the compute.
  3. If using a second camera unit (CAM2), connect the FAKRA cable between the second sensor and the port labelled CAM2 of the compute.
  4. Check that the protection film on all connected sensors' lenses have been removed.
  5. Next, connect the compute box to a power supply, either provided by the vehicle or an external battery source (See Power Requirements for details). The green Power LED will start blinking and the device will power up automatically.
  6. Wait up to 5 minutes for the device to fully power on and the web interface to become accessible.

The sensor unit(s) must be connected to the device before providing power for correct initialization. If a sensor unit is connected whilst the device is already powered on, please reboot the device using the REBOOT DEVICE button in the settings page of the web interface, as explained in Device Reboot & Shutdown.

Once the device is powered on, the next step is to connect to its web interface - see Connecting to the Device.
