Project Title

The-Nine: Self Driving Car

Abstract

This section should be a couple lines to describe what your project does.

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.

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

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

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.

Design & Implementation

The obstacle detection system covers two areas: detecting obstacles and determining vehicle orientation.

Obstacle detection is performed using ultrasonic sensors placed around the perimeter of the vehicle, concentrated at the front (three sensors) and less so in the back (one sensor) as the vehicle is primarily driven in the forward direction.

Vehicle orientation is accomplished using an inertial measurement unit, which is used to determine the speed and bearing of the vehicle.

Hardware Design

Ultrasonic sensors

Ultrasonic sensors are controlled using GPIO. The sensor consists of a trigger-input signal which causes it to emit sound at a specific frequency, and a echo-output signal which is pulsed when a reflection of the same frequency is received. The echo response is detected by the edge-sensitive GPIO interrupt, and the trigger is produced by a software-generated pulse.

Inertial measurement unit (IMU)

The IMU is a system that contains an accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope. The IMU interfaces to the SJOne board using I2C.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Ultrasonic sensors

RS-232 testing

The MaxBotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 (P/N# MB1010) has several interfaces used to indicate the distance to an obstacle that it has sensed. One of the simplest is a RS-232 output which is enabled by grounding the BW pin or leaving it unconnected (floating). The output is logic-level compatible with RS-232 (where a logic '1' is 0V and a logic '0' is Vcc) but not voltage-level compatible. MaxBotix designed the RS-232 output like this to allow direct connection to a RS-232 compliant serial port, but it means the logic levels are inverted with respect to the LPC1758 which has no on-chip provisions for inverting the logic level. Therefore an inverter (such as the 74LVC1G04) is required between the TX output of the MB1010 and the LPC1758's UART RX input for proper operation.
