CAN CLAN

Final car.png 

Picture of the RC Car


Abstract

Our goal for this project is to use knowledge we gathered from lectures to design, implement, and test a self-driving RC car using a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus for controller communication. The project involves FreeRTOS and utilizes periodic tasks (running at 1Hz, 10Hz, and 100Hz) to gather, process, and display data from various embedded modules.


Introduction

The project was divided into 5 modules:

Sensor Information Motor Operation Geological Information Driver & LCD Manager Bridge & Android Application
