Zigbee vehicle Communications Elect 707 Micro-Computer Applications 2011
Project Specifications • Building a Zigbee controlled car that can communicate with 2 other cars by sending them its order. • The car contains a Zigbee module, as well as a PIC programmed to order and take orders. • The car should got a limit switch that stop the car when reach an obstacle • The next car should start as soon as the 1st car send her a go condition as shown in the chart shown.

Project Plan • Learn how to Program the PIC • Learn how to use Eagle. • BreifZigbee introduction (Sunday, 18) • Design your Pcb board using Eagle (Phase 1) • Build your Pcb in the lab (Phase 2) • Install and wield your components. • Program the PIC • Test and deliver (Phase 3)
Bonus (15% of Project Grade) • Convert your car to be controlled via a remote control zigbee board. • Build a Pcb for a Remote control that can control the car using Zigbee. • Program the PIC in the remote to control the car. • Test your program.
