Self-Driving Autonomous Car

Abstract

The objective of the project is to create a self-driving autonomous car in a 15 person team. The car utilizes several components and sensors in order to get from Point A to Point B. Implementation of the car involves multiple SJONE processor boards using FreeRTOS to communicate with each other via CAN bus.

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.

I/O Team Software Design

The I/O Software is based off of two tasks: The Event Handler Task and the RX Task.

Event Handler Task (High Priority):

This Task receives any immediate messages sent from the uLCD, processes the message, and sends the message to the CAN BUS.

This task enables the system to: Turn On/Off the Vehicle and Change Vehicle Modes.

RX Task (Low Priority):

This task receives all messages from the CAN BUS, and outputs message data onto the uLCD

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.
