Bug Rider
Abstract
The "BUG RIDER" is robotic toy car which is ridden by the "HEX-BUG" toy!!!! Confused ???
Ok ,So the "HEX-BUG" toy placed on top of the car will be moving in random directions and its movement is captured by the camera attached to the supporting frame of the vehicle.The movements are image-processed and the data
is given to the "SJ-ONE BOARD" which in turn sends the wireless signals to the "SJ-ONE BOARD" present on the car which finally drives the car in that particular direction as the Hex-Bug's direction.
Below is the sample pictorial representation of the project.
Objectives & Introduction
Show list of your objectives. This section includes the high level details of your project. You can write about the various sensors or peripherals you used to get your project completed.

Schedule
Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if they are doing a similar project.

Design & Implementation
The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.
Hardware Design
The main components required for this project are :
(1) A Toy Car of dimensions approximately 25*12 inches which we bought from WALMART.
(2) An Acrylic sheet of dimensions 30*15 milky white color with highest opaqueness for light bought at TAP-PLASTICS.
(3) A framework consisting of vertical rods attached to the front and back of the car and a horizontal rod which can be movable on the vertical rods.The camera will be attached right at the middle of the horizontal rod.
The intention of the horizontal rod sliding on the vertical rods is to adjust the height of the camera position relative to the platform.
(4) Ultra-sonic sensors attached at the front portion of the car to provide the obstacle avoidance feature to the car.
(5) The "SJ-ONE" board will be placed underneath the platform,in the slot provided for the batteries of the car.
Hardware Interface
- The "SJ-ONE BOARD" is used for the control of DC motor and SERVO motor control using Pulse Width Modulation(PWM).
- The DC motor and the SERVO motors are connected to the "SJ-ONE BOARD" using jumper cables.
- An Antenna is attached to the "SJ-ONE BOARD" which is used for the communication with the other "SJ-ONE BOARD" connected to the laptop through Nordic Wireless Communication.
- The wireless Camera attached to the horizontal section of the framework will be capturing the movement of the Hex-Bug toy and transmitting the data to the laptop via bluetooth.
- The ultra-Sonic Sensors which are placed at the front portion of the vehicle for the obstacle-avoidance feature is connected to the "SJ-ONE BOARD" through jumper cables.
Software Design
Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.
Implementation
This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.
Testing & Technical Challenges
Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.
Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:
My Issue #1
Discuss the issue and resolution.
Conclusion
Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
Project Video
Upload a video of your project and post the link here.
