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.

SN65HVD230 CAN Board Transceiver:
INSERT DESCRIPTION HERE

The SN65HVD230 CAN board transceiver is used to interface the microcontrollers logical signals to CAN electrical specifications. The SN65HVD230 CAN board transceiver was chosen specifically because not only did it work perfectly for CAN interfacing, but it came pre-built with the in-line resistors. Because there were fifteen people in our team, this was desired because a lot of work would be needed if we built each CAN board transceiver individually. The transceivers were purchased on eBay for $8.99 each. However, the item's location was in China, so ordering early would be best for future students.

Sensor Controller Hardware Design Components


Method of Operation
1. INPUT: The sensor is triggered by a 10uS pulse HIGH on the trig pin.
2. RANGING: The sensor sends out eight 40kHz sonar pulses.
3. OUTPUT: The sensor outputs a pulse HIGH with the pulse time depending on the distance of the object on the echo pin.

The the output from the echo pin can be seen below, as captured by an oscilloscope.
CmpE243 F14 TeamUndergrad SensorAngle.jpg

While the HC-SR04 is an affordable way to implement distance ranging ability, there are some points to be aware of prior to implementation:
1. The sonar frequency is approximately 40kHz. Using multiple sonar sensors to detect the same object could lead to erroneous data due to interference.
2. As distance increases, so does noise. The reliable range of values in our case were between 3cm and 70 cm. Any other values were filtered out in software.

HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor:

The HC-SR04 is a distance sensor which detects objects using ultrasonic signals. The sensor is capable of detecting distances within 2cm-500cm. The sensor runs off 5V DC. Four pins are used: Vcc, Ground, Trig, and Echo. These sensors are relatively inexpensive, so four sensors were purchased. The four HC-SR04 sensors were implemented on our car at the following locations: front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right.

CmpE243 F14 TeamUndergrad HC-SR04UltrasonicSensor.jpg

LV-MaxSonar-EZ0 Ultrasonic Range Sensor:
The LV-MaxSonar-EZ0 is a high sensitivity and wide beam ultrasonic range sensor. The sensor is capable of reading objects at a maximum range of 645cm. The sensor is more expensive is, therefore, a lot stronger than the HC-SR04 sensors. Because the sensor's capabilities, it was used as the front-center sensor.

INSERT DESCRIPTION HERE

The uLCD-35DT is an intelligent display module used to display information of the system, such as viewing the GPS destination, and a controller for the system, such as setting the car to indoor mode which tests for sensor only navigation. The uLCD-35DT system was chosen specifically because of its touch screen capabilities. The display is driven by A DIABLO16 processor. The processor allows stand-alone functionality for the screen. In order to program the screen with an interactive GUI, the 4D Systems Workshop 4 IDE Software was used.

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

Testing


Sensor Controller Testing

Sensor Controller Testing #1

Describe how you tested the Sensors Sensors are calibrated prior to any testings. 1. For individual sensors: Set a obstacle(36" x 48" poster board) in front of a sensor and sensor team verifies the sensor values with a ruler. Repeat this process with different distances (20cm, 40cm,and 60cm). 2. Detect any outlier: Set a obstacle and allow sensor to detect for period of time and sensor team verifies values within the period. If there were outliers, sensor team would verify the wiring or write a filtering algorithm. 3. Integrated test: After all sensors are tested individually, sensor team tested collaboratively with master. Sensor team would sent CAN message (5 sensor values) to master team and check if master team can perform certain operations according to different sensor values.
