Periodic 10Hz Callback	Drive car according to the commands received from Master controller

Motor Pin Connections

The car battery accepts compatible Ni-MH batteries. The battery powers the ESC unit, which in turn drives the motor and also powers the steering servo. The SJ One board, ESC unit and steering servo should share a common ground in order for the PWM signals to have the same reference voltage. The CAN transceiver uses the 5V power supply and GND, as well as the P0.0 (CAN RX) and P0.1 (CAN TX) of the SJ One Board. P2.0 (PWM1) and P2.1 (PWM2) controls the steering and motor respectively. This is done by sending out PWM signals from the SJ One board that change the width of a 20ms period waveform. 1ms width represents a 0% duty cycle, 1.5ms width represents a 50% duty cycle, and 2ms width represents a 100% duty cycle.

DC Motor

A DC motor converts direct current electrical power into mechanical power. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is used to control the motor. One advantage is that the power loss in the switching transistor is small because the transistor is either fully “ON” or fully “OFF”. As a result the switching transistor has a much reduced power dissipation giving it a linear type of control which results in better speed stability. The RC Car came with the motor that needed 7.4V of power supply to work. The motor has the power to run the car at a maximum speed of the 35mph.

S.R.	ESC Wire Pins	SJOne Board Pins
1	Vcc	-
2	GND	GND
3	Speed Control	P2.1

DC motor is controlled with the help of three wires coming out of the ESC. These wires are VCC, GND and Speed control. The VCC line is not used as required voltage is directly given to the motor through a battery, via ESC. The GND line and Speed control lines are connected to the ground and PWM pin of SJOne board. DC Motor Pin Connections The DC motor was driven using pwm2 i.e. pin P2.1 of the SJOne board. In-built PWM generation function was used. It requires two parameters, one is pin being used and the other being the frequency.

Servo Motor

The RC Car came with a digital servo motor. The motor works without ESC. We can directly control this motor by giving PWM signal from our SJOne board. The below table contains information about PWM (duty cycle) given to the motor and the corresponding turns taken by the car.

250px Servo Motor

Servo motor is controlled with the help of three wires coming out of the servo motor. The wires are VCC, GND and Direction control. The VCC is connected to the 3.3v. GND and direction control are connected to the ground and pwm pins of SJOne board. S.R. Servo Motor Pins SJOne Board Pins 1 Vcc Vcc 2 GND GND 3 Direction Control P2.0 Servo Motor Pin Connections We control the Servo motor using pwm1 i.e. pin P2.0 of the SJOne board. We configure the PWM pin using an in-build function which requires two parameters, one is the pin that we are using and the other is the frequency of the pwm. To set the duty cycle, in-build set function is used in which we are passing the duty cycle at which we want servo motor to work.

Liquid Crystal Display

IO is the mode of interaction between user and car peripherals. It includes touch screen GLCD and headlights. LCD displays the car status while the touch screen allows the user to shift between various modes. The head and tail light is an easy and convenient way to know the state and transition of the car. The LCD is used to display vital parameters such as

• Speed
• Obstacle proximity
• GPS co-ordinates
• Current and heading compass zone

The touch screen GLCD uLCD32PTU has the following features

• Low-cost 3.2" LCD-TFT display graphics user interface solution.
• 240 x 320 VGA resolution, RGB 65K true to life colours, TFT screen with Integrated 4-Wire Resistive Touch Panel.
• Easy 5 pin interface to any host device: VCC, TX, RX, GND, RESET
• Powered by 4D-Labs PICASO processor.
• 2 x Asynchronous hardware serial ports (COM0, COM1), TTL interface, with 300 to 600K baud.
• On-board micro-SD memory card adaptor for multimedia storage and data logging purposes. HC memory card support is also available for cards larger than 4GB.
• 4.0V to 5.5V range operation (single supply).

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.

GPS Module

---

Ultimate GPS

The breakout is built around the MTK3339 chipset, a no-nonsense, high-quality GPS module that can track up to 22 satellites on 66 channels

• -165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels
• 5V friendly design and only 20mA current draw
• RTC battery-compatible
• Internal patch antenna + u.FL connector for external active antenna

The Compass Module - HMC5883L

---

Compass

Compass module is based on Honeywell’s HMC5883L. When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is created. This is the basic principle behind electromagnets. This is also the principle used to measure magnetic fields with a magnetometer. The direction of Earth's magnetic fields affects the flow of electrons in the sensor, and those changes in current can be measured and calculated to derive a compass heading.

The features of HMC5883L are:

• Simple I2C interface
• 2.16-3.6VDC supply range
• Low current draw
• 5 milli-gauss resolution

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.

Bluetooth Module

---

Bluetooth Module

RN42XV is built around Microchip's RN42 low power Bluetooth module. Some features of this module are as follows

• Based on the popular 2 x 10 (2mm) socket footprint.
• Voltage range: (3-3.6)Volts
• Current range: 26 μA sleep, 3 mA connected, 30 mA transmit.
• UART data connection interface.
• Sustained data rates: 240 Kbps (slave), 300 Kbps (master)
• Transmission range up to 60 feet (20 m) distance, +4 dBm output transmitter, -80 dBm typical receive sensitivity.
• FHSS/GFSK modulation, 79 channels at 1-MHz intervals.

Hardware Design

The interface between Bluetooth module and controller is as shown in fig

Interface between Bluetooth module and controller

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.
