Hardware Design

Overall Hardware Architecture

There are various connections to the SJOne Board in the project. To deal with the steering of the car, two different PWM pins are connected to the car: one for the motor and one for the servo. The camera servo also requires two connections to the PWM pins of the SJOne Board: one for the tilt and one for the horizontal movements. The VL53L0X time of flight sensor sends data through the I2C bus to the SJOne Board and requires a connection for the data and another for the clock. The sensor also connects to a general purpose output pin for its shutdown pin. To connect to the mobile phone, an XBEE Bluetooth module was placed on the board and it communicates with the microprocessor via UART. Finally, the mobile phone connects to the Raspberry Pi Zero W and camera through a hotspot connection.

PWM

Connections from the SJOne Board to the camera mount

The camera mount consists of two different servo motors. The top servo motor is connected to Port 2.2 and controls the tilt and allows the camera to pan up and down. The other servo motor is connected to Port 2.3 and controls the horizontal range and allows the camera to look left and right. Additionally, the SJOne Board can not supply a sufficient amount of voltage to the servos to allow them to run so an external power source supplies 5 volts. The servos move based on a varying duty cycle supplied to the motor from the SJOne Board. The duty cycle in the 50 Hz PWM Period ranges from 1 ms to 2 ms. Based on the duration that the duty cycle is active, the servo will assume a position with a 1.5 ms duty cycle being the middle position.

Connections from the SJOne Board to the motors of the Traxxas car

The Traxxas car is controlled by two motors: one to control the speed and one to control the direction. Both of these connections utilize the PWM functionality of the SJOne Board. The motor controls the speed which increases based on the duty cycle of the wave. The servo motor operates similarly to that of the camera mount and will turn to different positions based on the duty cycle of the wave.

I2C

Connections from the SJOne Board to the VL53L0X time of flight sensor

The VL53L0X time of flight sensor connects to the SJOne Board through the I2C Bus. The SDA and SCL signals are connected to the SDA2 and SCL2 pins on the SJOne Board, respectively. In addition, the shutdown pin is connected to P0.29 which is used as an output with the GPIO functionality of the microprocessor to allow the sensor to reset.

UART

The bluetooth module is connected to the SJOne Board through the XBee WiFly BT insert area. It communicates to a mobile phone via Bluetooth and sends information to the microprocessor through the UART 2 communication protocol. The XBee module acts as a receiver to the board as the phone sends motor and servo controls through an application. The board also transmit the distance sensor data to the phone every half a second.

The bluetooth module receives data packets with the following detail

 bluetooth data motor% car_servo% camera_vertical% car_servo_left/right forward/backward camera_left/right camera_up/down camera_horizontal%  

A bluetooth API was built in order to create an easy interface to set/get the parsed packet value.

Raspberry Pi

To accomplish the video streaming aspect of the project, the Raspberry Pi Zero W with a camera module was used. It provided the processing power to deal with video at 15 fps and could stream the video to the mobile application through Wi-Fi connection. Having a separate board deal with the video processing allowed more resources for the SJOne to deal with the steering, obstacle avoidance, and camera mount servo controlling.

The Raspberry Pi was flashed with MotionEyeOS. This gave us the flexibility to control various settings to optimize the streaming quality to the phone. The settings used allowed for video to be streamed at 15 fps with a half second delay.

Raspberry Pi with camera module

Software Design

The firmware architecture consists of 4 application-specific modules: 1. Bluetooth interface 2. Driver 3. Proximity 4. Camera mount controller

The Bluetooth interface is responsible for communication between the firmware and the controller software (Android application). The bluetooth interface exposes the following functionality: drive the RC car and control the camera mount tilt/pan.

The driver is responsible for translating parameters acquired from the Bluetooth interface to control the car's servo and motor as commanded.

The proximity module is responsible for communicating with the time of flight sensor and provide an up-to-date frontal distance for proximity awareness. The driver uses the distance for collision avoidance by prohibiting the car from moving forward.

The camera mount controller is responsible for translating parameters acquired from the Bluetooth interface to control the camera mount's tilt servo and pan servo as commanded.


Firmware Architecture

Implementation

Servo Motor

The servo motor is used as a camera mount for the Raspberry Pi camera. It uses a PWM signal and the percentage of how much the servo should pan or tilt is supplied by the Android application

RC car control logic
The RC car control logic is primarily controlled via the Android app. There are 2 flags that control the RC car's movement and direction. A forward/backward flag is used to control the RC car to move forward or backwards. A left/right flag is used to control the direction of where to steer.
An addition feature added to the project was collision avoidance. When the distance sensor is blocked and below a threshold, for example, 300 millimeters, the RC car will be unable to move forward even when the user increase the speed percentage to drive the motor.

Android Application

The main purpose of the Android application is to provide a simple user interface that allows the user to control the RC car via bluetooth. The user interface mimics what existing game consoles/controllers look like.

Spybot UI

The Android app will provide:

  • Autoconnect Bluetooth to RC car
  • Steer the RC car left and right
  • Drive the RC car forward and backwards
  • Control servo tilt and pan orientation

The Android app will display:

  • Live video feed from camera
  • Current orientation of joystick
  • Percentage of horizontal orientation
  • Percentage of vertical orientation
  • Speed of RC car in percentage
  • Distance in millimeter from Time-of-Flight sensor

Software Design

High Level Architecture Design

Spybot app high level architecture

The application is able to send and receive to/from the RC car via Bluetooth. With its simple UI, it is easy to control the RC car. The RC car will not receive any data until the On switch is toggled. Once toggled, the RC car will receive the data packets if it is within the vicinity. The left joystick is used to steer the RC car left or right depending on the position within the joystick circle. It is also used to determine if the RC car will drive forward or backward.

To steer the camera, the Camera switch needs to be toggled. The left joystick is used to pan left and right, and tilt up and down if Camera is toggled.

The right joystick is control the speed of the RC car. The range is between 0% to 100%.

The webView in the middle of the app allows the user to stream live-feed video from the camera on the RC car.

Implementation

Spybot architecture

Control Fragment

The Control Fragment is the main fragment which contains all Views, such as textView, joystickView, and webView. This layer links the the message layer where different messages are handled. Joystick view is a custom view created by makowildcat. In order to download, the following needs to be added to the gradle script.

 compile 'io.github.controlwear:virtualjoystick:1.9.2'


OnMoveListener is a callback function that is called every time the joystick position changes. The joysticks have a refresh rate of 50ms.
MessageHandler is an intermediate layer which handles all receiving and transmitting requests.
BluetoothService is the underlying layer after MessageHandler which assists with all high level Bluetooth functionality such as connect/disconnect and receiving/transmitting. It abstracts the detail of ConnectThread. In this layer, packets are also parsed so it can provide useful in the Fragment layer. This is also the layer where packets are built.
ConnectThread is the final layer which does the low level initialization such as UUID and opening/closing sockets. This layer handles all incoming and outgoing messages.

Use Cases

Auto Connect

When the app starts, auto connection to the RC car is initiated if it is in bluetooth range. It is able to auto connect by hardcoding the bluetooth MAC address in the app.

Spybot autoconnect

Sending Data

Packets of data is sent to the RC car periodically every 100ms when the On switch is toggled. The packet includes:

  • motor drive percentage from 0% to 100%
  • car steer percentage from 0% to 100%
  • camera tilt percentage from 0% to 100%
  • camera pan percentage from 0% to 100%
  • flag to determine left or right steering of car
  • flag to determine car to drive forward or backwards
  • flag to determine camera tilt up or down
  • flag to determine camera pan left or right

Camera pan/tilt percentage will only change when the Camera switch is toggled on. When toggled off, car steering percentage will change, along with its associated flags.

The car will default to move forward when the Camera switch is toggled off. The car will move backwards when the steering joystick is moved below the lower half and forward when moved above the center.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Noise Interference

Noise was a huge issue when it came to steering the car. One of the issues occurred when the car was moving despite the duty cycle of the PWM connected to it was set to 0%. The solution we used to remedy this issue was to organize and rewire the car to minimize the effect of noise. Once this issue was fixed, the car was able to move and turn according to the requirements and specifications we initially set with the car and application.

Raspberry Pi Camera Ribbon

The ribbon used for the camera to communicate with the RPi is very sensitive. While testing out the camera and its settings, the video feed would cut out a lot when the ribbon was disturbed. There were times when the camera would not be detected at all. To remedy this issue, the connection was gently redone until the video feed returned.

Connecting to the Pi Zero W

Initially, the group wanted to have the phone to connect to the Raspberry Pi through Wi-Fi. However, when setting up the Pi to be a Wi-Fi access point, the phones could not discover the Pi, making communication impossible. Furthermore, it did not allow the Pi to initially boot up properly. To rectify this problem, the group decided to have the mobile phone with the application be a hotspot host. While this means that the Pi would have to be reconfigured every time it wants to connect to a new phone, the results would be consistent with the feed from the camera being able to broadcast to the host phone.

VL53L0X Time of Flight Sensor

The Time of Flight sensor was very tricky to bring-up as little to no datasheet was provided. The sensor is from STMicroelectronics. The datasheet does not provide any register information, such as register address and register information. They expect you to use their pre-built API or their development kit, so the whole sensor was a black-box. Although a pre-built API was provided, the whole driver layer was written for Windows. Reverse engineering had to be done by swapping out the Window linkage to SJone's driver interface (I2C).

Android Application

Making the App was challenging because it was the first time developing an Android application. Basic concepts of Android programming had to be learnt quickly in the early development cycle of the project.
Every new feature of the App was tested rigorously so the App would not crash or stop working. Since the app receives packets from the SJone board, packet parsing needed to be done in the App. There was NullExceptions occurring frequently causing the App to crash. To solve the issue, Android Studio's logger was used in order to print out every packet received. It turns out the App receives an extra byte of information at the beginning of the packet causing indexing-out-of-bound exceptions. The bug was fixed by taking into account that extra byte of information and removing it before the parsing process.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the project worked to the requirements we had set up at its inception. Throughout the project, there were a lot of errors encountered such as the noise which made steering the car difficult to the utilization of the Raspberry Pi. Despite all of this, we were able to complete the project in time and demo a car that can be viewed and steered through the application. While the car was working and usable for the demo, there are still many improvements that we could have done. One of the biggest improvements would have been the implementation of a PCB which would have made testing as well as connected the pieces together much easier. Another improvement would have been to utilize the Raspberry Pi as a Wi-Fi access point to make the project more robust and portable. Despite some of these missing features, the Spybot is a project we are proud to call our own.
