Schedule
| Week# | Start Date | End Date | Task | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 09/13/2016 | 09/20/2016 | Order Components and work distribution | Completed |
| 2 | 09/21/2016 | 09/27/2016 | Set up git and wiki page | Completed |
| 3 | 09/28/2016 | 10/04/2016 | Receive Components and distribute to group members | Completed |
| 4 | 10/05/2016 | 10/11/2016 | Agree on control system architecture, assign CAN node priorities and decide on communication paradigm between Master and Nodes. Prep for prototype. | In Process |
| 5 | 10/12/2016 | 10/17/2016 | Testing week for all nodes. Goal is for each node to have a basic interface to their sensors and actuators in place, where they are able to read data and manipulate control signals. For instance: sensors node should be reading distance, motors node should be able to generate motor speed control signals. | In Process |
| 6 | 10/18/2016 | 10/24/2016 | Interface all nodes over Canbus and coordinate order and status message transfers between Master and Nodes. | In Process |
| 7 | 10/25/2016 | 10/31/2016 | Integrate all hardware to the RC car, including power supplies from batteries. Test self powered prototype with the goal of controlling forward, reverse, left and right from the phone app. Test & fix basic integration bugs. | In Process |
| 8 | 11/1/2016 | 11/7/2016 | Continue with hardware/software development & integration and complete first prototype of the collision avoidance feature. | In Process |
| 9 | 11/8/2016 | 11/14/2016 | Integrate GPS coordinates from Android app into Master Node for autonomous feature. | In Process |
| 10 | 11/15/2016 | 11/21/2016 | Integrate all nodes into one. Start testing car's autonomous driving capabilities with path following from GPS waypoints from Android app. | In Process |
| 11 | 11/22/2016 | 11/28/2016 | Autonomous driving should be working by now. Focus on improving car's performance. Tweak all nodes to better performance, and fix last minutes bugs. | In Process |
| 11 | 11/29/2016 | Presentation date | Final touches to improve overall vehicle's robustness. Self-fixing nodes, reduce/eliminate unexpected behaviors and crashes. | In Process |

Sensor Controller
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.

GPS Module: Readytosky Ublox NEO-M8N This GPS module uses UART serial communication interface. The refresh rate ranges from 1Hz up to 10Hz with a default baud rate of 9600bps. This module is an updated version to the Ublox NEO-M7N which brings improved accuracy of up to 0.9 meters using its build in antenna. Specifications:

Razor IMU - 9 Degrees of Freedom The 9DOF Razor IMU incorporates three sensors - an ITG-3200 (MEMS triple-axis gyro), ADXL345 (triple-axis accelerometer), and HMC5883L (triple-axis magnetometer) - to give you nine degrees of inertial measurement. The outputs of all sensors are processed by an on-board ATmega328 and output over a serial interface. Software DesignShow your software design.
