Presentation Outline u Introduction u Project Overview u Review of Previous Work –Software –Hardware u Schedule u Conclusion u Questions

Introduction u Currently working on Weapon hardware and software

Block Diagram

Weapon Software

Software Progress I u Keil PK51 Software Package –uVision (Compiler/Assembler) –dScope (Simulator) –Documentation –Tutorial –Sample Projects and Programs

Software Progress II u Weapon Software –File / project setup –Control structure / program flow –Interface with buttons - port polling

Software Challenges u Serial sampling and reading of laser receiver output u Interfacing with laser transmitter u Accessing external devices at absolute addresses

Weapon

Traditional Circuit Photo Diode Model

Experimental Circuit

Hardware Challenges u Testing two laser receiver circuits u Storing information for microprocessor access u Setting up laser transmitter

Issues u Encoding/decoding data for laser transmitter/receiver –Weapon ID –Hardware or software encoding v Hardware: Storing laser receiver data v Software: Serial sampling u RF Link

Original Spring Schedule Week LauraSteven 1 Design and optimize laser receiver Code weapon software 2 Design and optimize laser receiver Code weapon software 3 Design and optimize laser receiver Code weapon - to - display Software 4 Integrate laser receiver and weapon software 5 Integrate laser receiver and weapon software 6 Design C.C. electronics Code C.C. - to - display software 7a Design display board electronics Code C.C. - to - display software 7bMid-term demonstration 8 Design display board electronics Code C.C. - to - display software 9 Design display board electronics Code display - to - user software 10 Integrate C.C. hardware and software 11 Integrate display hardware and software 12 Integrate Subsystems 13 Integrate Subsystems 14 Presentation

Actual Spring Schedule Week LauraSteven 1Reviewed Specs for Photo Diode, Learn to use Keil PK51 Package Looked at Current to voltage Converter 2Set up simulation for I to V converter Learn to use Keil PK51 Package 3Finished simulations for both I to Begin coding weapon software V converters and started building circuits 4Finish building circuits and test themInterface weapon software and laser systems

Conclusion u Software - Working on weapon software u Hardware - Working on laser receiver for the weapon u Many challenges to overcome to finish weapon u A little behind schedule
