Senior Design I Project Summer B 2006
Overview • Objectives • Constraints • Possible Components
Project Objectives • To Modify a Remote Control Toy Car • To propose a new programmed behavior for the device • The programmed behavior should be easily changed by means of program download • To Understand how the original device works by doing reverse engineering • To obtain system parameters by doing pre-modification benchmarks (Speed and reaction time before hitting and object in the car path) • Modify the device to accomplish the desired functions with an effective use of the determined benchmarks • Easy To Use • Economic • Simple Circuitry
Constraints • The project will be based on the Microchip PIC18F877A • All the original electric components of the car must be physically removed from the car except for the motor, battery, switch and steering actuator. • The car must be factory equipped with either a 6V or 9.6V block type rechargeable battery (No AA batteries allowed) • Each modified device should have at least three different behaviors • Project Should be completed by the presentation date indicated in the syllabus • Teams should be composed of three or two members. There cannot be more than one two members team in the class. • If there is a single person without team I will assign that person to a team of my choice.
Extra Credits • There will be extra credits for: • First fully functional project • Best Accomplished project • Extra credit can range from 1 to 5 absolute points

Components: 28015 • Parallax's new PING)))™ ultrasonic sensor provides a very low-cost and easy method of distance measurement. This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects. • The PING)))™ sensor measures distance using sonar; an ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return. • http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28015 • 28015.pdf
Components: 28015 • Features • Supply Voltage: 5 vdc • Supply Current: 30 mA typ; 35 mA max • Range: 3cm to3 m( 1.2in to 3.3yrds) • Input Trigger: positive TTL pulse, 2 uS mm, 5 uS typ. • Echo Pulse: positive TTL pulse, 115 uS to 18.5 mS • Echo Hold-off: 750 uS from fall of Trigger pulse • Burst Frequency: 40 kHz for 200 uS • Burst Indicator LED shows sensor activity • Delay before next measurement: 200 uS • Size: 22 mm H x 46 mm W x 16 mm D (0.84 in x 1.8 in x 0.6 in • $24.95
Components: Memsic 2125 Dual-axis Accelerometer • The Memsic 2125 is a low cost, dual-axis thermal accelerometer capable of measuring dynamic acceleration (vibration) and static acceleration (gravity) with a range of ±2 g • Key Features of the Memsic 2125: • Measure 0 to ±2 g on either axis; less than 1 mg resolution • Fully temperature compensated over 0° to 70° C range • Simple, pulse output of g-force for X and Y axis • Analog output of temperature (TOut pin) • Low current operation: less than 4 mA at 5 vdc • http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28017 • Memsic 2125.pdf • $ 29
Components: Memsic 2125 Dual-axis Accelerometer • How It Works • Internally, the Memsic 2125 contains a small heater. This heater warms a "bubble" of air within the device. When gravitational forces act on this bubble it moves. This movement is detected by very sensitive thermopiles (temperature sensors) and the onboard electronics convert the bubble position [relative to g-forces] into pulse outputs for the X and Y axis. • The pulse outputs from the Memsic 2125 are set to a 50% duty cycle at 0 g. The duty cycle changes in proportion to acceleration and can be directly measured by the BASIC Stamp. Figure 2 shows the duty cycle output from the Memsic 2125 and the formula for calculating g force.
