Boe-Bot Control Alex Ahmadi John Hoffman Andres Huertas Azeem Meruani Simcha Singer
Overview • Technology Background • Demonstration • Programming Details • Q&A
Technology Background: Gyroscopes • Angular rate sensors • ADXRS150 • Voltage proportional to angular rate about axis normal • Resonator Gyro • Coriolis force during angular rate • Capacitive sensing • Similar to Accelerometer • Closed loop can drive amplitude to zero • Capacitive sensing
Technology Background: Servos • Control • Pulsing signal line • 1-2 msec pulses • 10-40 msec intervals • Programming • LabView control based on gyroscope data
Technology Background: Boe-Bot • 2 wheels, 2 servos • Maneuvers • Vary speed ratio of wheels to turn or go straight • Error in slippage? • DAQ input signals for control
Programming Details • LabView setup • Gyroscope VI’s, interaction • BasicStamp Calls • BasicStamp • Inputs from LabView • Executing commands
Challenges • Windows limitations • LabView limitations • Other obstacles
