Anti-Crash Car

Abstract

The project involves a GPS controlled car that drives to a user determined destination and automatically stops or slows down when an obstacle is in its way in order to prevent itself from crashing. Any command that can potentially damage the car is disabled (e.g. moving forward when the obstacle is in front).

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.

Parts List & Cost

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. File:Anti crash Schematic.png

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.

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

PWMs : I found out PWMs for servo and wheels motor must run at 50Hz even though motor is capable of handling faster frequency. When we use other frequency, the hand shake between PWMs and motor will not sync correctly.

Solution : We end up using 50Hz and we had to operate motor at slower speed.

My Issue #2

Interrupt : When we had 2 interrupts and functional calls involve together, our code will not perform the way we expected. The system get crash or freeze time to time.

Solution : We end up putting sensor, gps, motor and state machine code in tasks.

My Issue #1

Discuss the issue and resolution.
