The GIZMO project focuses on developing a remote-operated Bluetooth interface for a robotic truck. Sponsored by Calit2, this presentation details task progression, including the design of the final circuit board, Bluetooth functionality, and accelerometer integration. Key achievements include successfully sending commands via cell phone and writing code for Bluetooth disconnection handling and ADC data processing. Future tasks involve sending accelerometer data to the phone and optimizing microcontroller code. The project demonstrates significant advances in mobile robotic control and microcontroller programming. ###

Bluetooth Status Detection • Detect Bluetooth disconnection • Stop truck when disconnected • Bluetooth module has status pin which is low when disconnected • Use microcontroller pin change interrupt to detect a high low transition

Successive Approximation ADC Successive Approximation Register End of Conversion Digital to Analog Converter Output of ADC: Sample and Hold Circuit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_Approximation_ADC
Example ofSuccessive Approximation ADC Let ADC have 4 bits of precision Let: Vref = 2 V Vin = 1.5 V From formula: 8 DAC Output = 1.067 < Vin 12 DAC Output = 1.6 > Vin DAC Output = 1.35 < Vin 10 DAC Output = 1.467 < Vin 11 11
Summary • Current state: we can control the GIZMO truck through cell phone • Plans for next two weeks: - send accelerometer data to cell phone (Eldridge) - install circuit board on GIZMO truck (Kristi) - motor control settings on microcontroller (Kristi) - motor control settings on phone (Eldridge) - optimize microcontroller code (both)
