New Member First Day

To get started on the team, you'll need to create a few accounts and potentially download some software. This is a guide for what you'll need to do to get set up:

Accounts to Create

If you haven't already, you should create the following accounts:

• Slack: soonerrobotics.slack.com
• GitHub: github.com - send your username to your team captain once you've created a GitHub account
• ClickUp: ClickUp | One app to replace them all - once you create an account send the email address you used to your team captain

Software Team Member Starter Pack

• Ubuntu 18.04 - See how to install it here: Linux Installation Guide
• ROS Melodic - Basic overview and installation instructions here: ROS Melodic Installation
• Visual Studio Code - This is what we use for editing code. You can get this from the vs code website: Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined
• Arduino IDE - This is what we use for uploading code to arduinos. We normally edit the code in VSCode and then use the Arduino IDE only for uploads (because the Arduino IDE is a pretty weak text editor). It is available on the Arduino website: Arduino - Software
• *Optional: *Terminator - The name is intimidating, but this is a really cool terminal tool for linux. Definitely try it out (it'll help a lot but you don't have to use it). Get it here: Terminator: Introduction and then scroll to the Installation header

Electrical Team Member Starter Pack

• KiCAD - all of the circuit design work will be done in KiCAD. This makes it easy to test and make PCBs. The software is available here: KiCad EDA

Mechanical Team Member Starter Pack

Consult with the team captain or mechanical lead for what software you will be using for 3D modelling. Generally Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks will be the choice program
