CAN CLAN
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

Hardware Design
- MaxSonar-EZ1 detects objects from 0" to 254".
- 2.5-5.5V operation range. Low 2mA supply current.
- 42kHz Ultrasonic sensor with 20Hz reading rate.
- Incredibly Small Package Sonar Range Finder.
- Serial Output, PWM output, Analog Output.

Technical Challenges
< List of problems and their detailed resolutions>
- Issue: Sensors test well independently, but not sensitive when mount on RC car .
- Reason: Sensor do not have enough power supply.
- Solution: 1.check connecting and solder in protoboard.
- 2.Re-design the power supply plan.
- Issue: While using two brand sensors, Front sensor works well, but left/right sensor working randomly. For sensors couldn’t work well at the same time.
- Reason: We config the sensor in two groups, and it causes the sensors to crosstalk.
- Solution: 1. Only use one brand.
- 2.Turning on only two sensors at a time.(left + right then front +rear).
- Issue: Rear Sensor doesn't work well with bad mounting.
- Reason: the sensors are mounted heading to LCD.
- Solution: we use higher stand off of read sensor.
Motor ECU

Hardware Design
A single SJ2-C board was placed in charge of handling all interactions with the Traxxas parts. This included an ESC (Electronic Speed Control) connected to a brushed DC motor, a servo motor for steering control, and a wheel encoder installed adjacent to the gear shaft (CHECK).

Geographical Controller
<Picture and link to Gitlab> GPS Node GitLab
- GPS
- An Adafruit Ultimate GPS breakout module using the MTK3339 chipset is interfaced over UART to the Geographical controller to provide latitude and longitude updates.
- Compass
- riple-axis accelerometer/magnetometer compass module. Inside are two sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity). The other is a magnetometer that can sense where the strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic north.
