Team 10: SHERPA May 3, 2010
Outline • Project Selection • Our Project • Design Choices • Obstacles • Our Prototype • Future Additions • What We Learned • Acknowledgements • Questions
Project Selection • Idea from Todd Burghgraef at Dornerworks • Good combination of hardware and software design • Funded by Dornerworks
Our Project Advanced SensorTechnology Current GPSTechnology • Software + +
Design Choices • Hardware • Electronic components • Battery • Display • Software • Algorithms • Kalman Filter • Integration Method • Operating System
Obstacles • Sensor bias • Sensor accuracy • Complex algorithms • Acquisition platform performance
Our Prototype • Designed schematic and printed circuit board (PCB) • Populate PCB with components • Software implementation • Sensors • LCD and touch panel • Algorithms
Future Additions • Better algorithms • Full User Interface • Re-fabricate the PCB • Design and prototype an enclosure
What We Learned • System Design • Embedded Programming • Scheduling • Modularizing a Problem
