  5. CMUcam3

  6. Maxbotix Range Finder

  7. Stable Output

  8. Magnetometer Assembly +

  9. May use Handy Board signal for set/reset =

  10. Layout Overview

  11. Project Integration • Handy Board • Use USB to connect with newer board • Found a UI for the Handy Board downloader • Works with Windows Vista • CMUcam • Found sample code to integrate CMUcam with Handy Board

  12. Project Integration (cont.) • Handy Board to Range Finder • Range Finder uses analog output • Handy Board has analog inputs • Magnetometer • Amplified analog output • Car • Handy Board analog output to: • Steering servo • Speed controller

  13. Risks • Magnetometer functionality • Complexity of the printed circuit board and amplifier circuit • Interfacing Handy Board to speed controller • Lack of exact specifications/pinouts • Requires detective work

  14. Schedule • November 8 – November 26 • Finish assembling components onto car • Finish magnetometer assembly • Connect Handy Board to speed/steering controllers • Connect CMUcam3 to Handy Board • Connnect rangefinder to Handy Board • Test assembled components (unit testing)

  15. Schedule (cont.) • November 26 – December 6 • Develop navigation algorithms • CMUcam-based navigation • Range Finder-based navigation • Magnetometer-based steering • Test car (integration testing) • December 6 – December 19 • Final presentation and documentation (acceptance testing and functional testing) • Buffer time
