G.R.O.B.I. Project Gantt Chart

G.R.O.B.I. Project Tasks Performed Continued tutorial for Eagle Layout Editor (Kristi) Researched how to convert Atmega16 code to Atmega164P code (Kristi) Continued programming microcontroller (Eldridge) - vary motor speed - added code for ADC Downloaded software for cell phone programming (Eldridge) Met with Javier and Paul (both) - fixed problems with motor - demonstrated serial communication code - provided more specifications for motor control - discussed 2 nd stage of project with Paul

G.R.O.B.I. Project Motor Control Forward Reverse Stop Forward (F) to Reverse (B) : - already handled by ESC - truck stops for ∆t seconds before changing directions Reverse (B) to Forward (F) : - instruction: truck should stop Forward (F) to Stop (S) : - instruction: truck should be in full reverse for ∆ t seconds to stop Increase Decrease Increase Decrease Complete Incomplete

G.R.O.B.I. Project ADC on Atmega16 Overview - 8 channel analog multiplexer - 10 bit resolution PrescalerFrequency MHz kHz kHz kHz kHz kHz kHz Setting ADC Clock Frequency - Optimal frequency: kHz - STK500 clock frequency: MHz - Need to use prescalingto lower clock frequency to ADC Output of ADC - Equation: Output = (1023)(Vin/Vref) - Output between 0 and

G.R.O.B.I. Project Eagle Layout Editor Schematic Board layout –Created from the schematic

G.R.O.B.I. Project Freescale Accelerometer (capacitive acceleration sensing) Movable middle capacitor plate moves when chip is accelerated Distance moved proportional to acceleration Chip measures the capacitance C =  A/D Freescale MMA6260 datasheet

G.R.O.B.I. Project Memsic Accelerometer (free convection heat transfer) Sealed gas in chip Heat source in center Heated air moves by convection when the chip is accelerated Temperature sensors sense change in temperature

G.R.O.B.I. Project Summary Overview of ADC, accelerometer, and Eagle Layout Editor Finished 1 st prototype and starting work on 2 nd prototype Next week: - Create evaluation board for accelerometer (Kristi) - Start programming with Python (Eldridge) - Make updates to microcontroller code (both) - converting to Atmega164P - motor control
