Hardware Design

Motor Controller includes the controlling of the DC motor, Servo motor, Electronic speed control (ESC), and the wheel encoder. The job of the motor controller is both to steer and spin the wheels in order to move the RC car to the target destination. The DC motor, servo motor, and ESC(Traxxas ESC XL-05) were provided with the Traxxas RC car. The wheel encoder was purchased separately from Traxxas's website. The job of the DC motor is to control the spinning of the rear 2 wheels through the utilization of ESC and wheel encoder whereas the job of the servo motor is to control the steering of the front 2 wheels.

Motor Board Pinout

SJ2 Board Pin	Description
5V	Input power
3.3V	CAN transceiver power
PWM2 P2.1	DC Motor Speed Control
PWM5 P2.4	Servo Motor Control
CAP0 P2.6	Input Capture for RPM Sensor
CAN1 TX	CAN Module Tx
CAN1 RX	CAN Module Rx
GND	Grounding

DC Motor and ESC

The DC motor and ESC were provided with RC car. The DC motor is controlled by the ESC using PWM signals which were provided by the motor controller board for forward, neutral, and reverse movements. The ESC is powered ON using a 7.4 LiPo battery. The ESC converts this 7.4V to 6V and provides input to DC Motor.

ESC wires	Description	Wire Color
Vout	Output Power (6V)	RED
GND	Ground	BLACK
PWM	PWM input from SJ2-Board (P2.1)	WHITE

The car can be operated at 100Hz in the following 3 modes : Sport Mode (100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse) </br> Racing Mode (100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse) </br> Training Mode (50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse)

...

For speed sensing we purchased a Traxxas RPM sensor as it mounted nicely in the gear box. The RPM sensor works by mounting a magnet to the spur gear and a hall effect sensor fixed to the gear box. To get the revolutions per second we used Timer2 as an input capture.
