Smart Sparta Parking System

Abstract

This section should be a couple lines to describe what your project does.

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.

Project 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.

Week No. Start Date Planned End Date Task Status Actual End Date
1 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Implement Basic CAN Hardware to communicate between 2 Controllers
  • Completed
We are able to send a message from Tx over CAN and perform a specific operation at the Rx.

2 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Design CAN Acceptance Filter among different Controllers
* Define and Implement CAN Frame structure for proper communication
  establishment
  • Completed
Only messages with in range of acceptance filter are received, Decided on CAN frame structure using 11-bit frame.

3 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Develop Inter-Controller Communication over CAN
* Test point-to-point and Broadcast message transmission
* Implement a Counter to count and display number of messages 
  • Completed
CAN Communication among multiple boards achieved, Point-to-Point & Broadcast modes are working, Able to display the count on 7-Seg Display on SJOne board.

* Layout blueprint for Controller and Module positioning 
* Assemble the RC Car with all the controllers and Modules
* Define the Message List by working with other teams
* Start working on CAN Periodic message structure
  • Completed
RC car design and module assembly is completed. Need some fine tuning for connections. Message list is generated and periodic message implementation started.
--/--/2015
5 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Complete CAN Periodic message structure to transmit Broadcast
  messages over CAN and establish controlled communication among
  different controllers 
* Implement Start condition detection and Fetch boot status from
  all controllers and display the status of each controller
  • Completed
Periodic Message Setup done. Able to receive boot status. Need to work on display of status.
--/--/2015
6 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Design 'Kill Switch' in co-ordination with Motor Controller team
  and Bridge Controller team
* Develop a 'CAN Bus Crash' detection and reset CAN Bus methodology
* Design Automatic Head Light turn ON/OFF functionality by
  working with Sensors Controller team
  • Completed
Kill Switch implemented through Bridge controller. Head Lights implemented. LCD display of Status achieved.
--/--/2015
7 --/--/2015 --/--/2015
* Implement File Log saving to SD Card at periodic intervals
* Work on Restoring to last known Status if the system crashes while running
* Develop Detection technique if controllers are reaching 'Error State' 
  • Completed
File Log implemented. Error State is partially implemented. Obstacle detection achieved. Needed refinement in Direction control logic. Need to implement reverse logic.

Parts List & Cost

Give a simple list of the cost of your project broken down by components. Do not write long stories here.

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.

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.

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

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?

Project Video

Upload a video of your project and post the link here.
