  1. Status Report #2GPS-Navigated Autonomous Vehicle Prepared for: August Allo Department of Electrical Engineering University of Texas at San Antonio Prepared by Design Group 8: Brendon Balouch Vernal Garcia Brian Gonzalez Kim Pham February fif, 2007 Purpose: To implement a fastest route algorithm in a GPS enabled vehicle.

  2. Overall Need: To design and assemble control hardware that is able to implement a given GPS coordinate pathway. • Project Milestones: • Establish communication between GPS and microprocessor • Build a steering control circuit • Build a drive train control circuit • Write our fastest route algorithm. • Integrate all pieces into a single package

  3. Task Completions • Communication established between GPS and microprocessor • GPS NMEA data sentences successfully decoded and converted to calculable integers. • PWM embedded module successfully programmed for speed control.

  4. Task Completion Dates • PWM Motor Driver Schematic • February 9th, 2007 • H-Bridge Steering Controller Schematic • February 9th, 2007 • Preliminary Fastest Route Algorithm • February 23th, 2007 • Project Synergy • March 16th, 2007

  5. Upcoming Tasks • PWM motor control circuit • H-bridge steering control circuit • Fastest route algorithm • Programming of processor to support peripheral devices • Interface the magnetometer to the processor to help find direction.

  6. Recently Completed Tasks • Vehicle Purchased • December 29th, 2006 • Processor Obtained • October 10th, 2006 • GPS Purchased • November 18th, 2006 • PWM Module Programmed • February 4th, 2007
