Project Title

Gran Turismo


Abstract

"The Gran Turismo" is an autonomous RC car designed to navigate to a specified destination using GPS coordinates, communicated via a mobile application. The car integrates four microcontrollers (Driver, Sensor/Bridge, Geo, and Motor nodes) which communicate over a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. It utilizes FreeRTOS to manage periodic tasks for data gathering, processing, and decision-making, ensuring effective obstacle detection and avoidance while maintaining the intended path.

Introduction

The project was divided into 5 modules:

  • Sensor/Bridge node
  • Motor node
  • Geo node
  • Driver node
  • Android App

Ultrasonic Sensor

Selecting the appropriate distance sensor is crucial for the success of the project. Our team chose the Ultrasonic Sensor URM09 from DFRobots due to its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. The URM09 offers multiple communication protocols, and we opted for the I2C package to simplify the configuration and reading process, allowing us to focus on the overall system integration.

  • Ultra-Sonic Sensor URM09 (I2C Protocol)
    • Supply Voltage: 3.3~5.5V DC
    • Operating Current: 20mA
    • Operating Temperature Range: -10℃~+70℃
    • Measurement Range: 2cm~500cm (can be set)
    • Resolution: 1cm
    • Accuracy: 1%
    • Frequency: 50Hz Max
    • Dimension: 47mm × 22 mm/1.85” × 0.87”
