  1. Tom Wilson And Roselyne Barreto Summer 2004 Task 1: Instrumentation – Recovering ECE 400 Task 2: GUI Development in VSC++.Net

  2. Task 1 Instrumentation:Recovering ECE 400 With Andros

  3. Instrumentation: Recovering ECE 400 Andros Work Output 1: Demonstration using the touch-screen controller developed in ECE 400. Demonstration for Dr. Abidi. Per Dr. Abidi’s recommendation: Minor changes to the casement. Store T/S and use as back-up for future work. Touch-screen Control Box Task 1

  4. Instrumentation: Recovering ECE 400 Andros Work Output 2: Increased Functionality of the T/S control box. Software could not be stored previous to this summer’s work. This caused major problems when using the T/S. Researched available methods without installing EEPROM for the storage of the software. A procedure was located, and installed. The software that drives the T/S now may reside permanently within the processor on the T/S control box. Task 1

  5. Instrumentation: Recovering ECE 400 Andros Work Future Direction: Instrumentation Experiments to more fully recover the original control box functionality. Purpose: to map the function the control speed and direction, respectively. Method: compare the change occurring to the direction bit, with respect to the change it the physical direction. Use: Kermit software to acquire signal from control box. Compare the differences to map the direction bit function. Task 1

  6. Instrumentation: Recovering ECE 400 Andros Work Future Direction: Change casement that currently holds T/S. Document the necessary set-up and re-installation operation in a “quick guide” format. Securely store the T/S, the guide to “quick restart,” and any other necessary materials for possible future use. Continue to map the function that control speed and direction instead of relying on hard coded command strings. Investigate the possibility of modifying the touch-screen control software so that Andros may be more capably controlled than at the present. Take Andros to REMOTEC to be repaired Task 1

  7. Output: Develop a functional GUI that sends RS-232 signals Task 2GUI Development In VSC++.Net Using VSC++.Net to send a serial signal to a second PC with Kermit reading the signal.

  8. Output: Develop a functional GUI that sends RS-232 signals At the present, a functional GUI application is operational. The development of the control GUI is moving forward per the direction given by Dr. Abidi (icon of Andros with directional controls). Using KERMIT to acquire the signal sent using the GUI application authenticated the signal. In the course of development, problems were encountered in the system at IRIS-West that cause difficulties using VSC++ development environment. At the present, this remains an issue. Work is continuing to rectify the problems. Task 2GUI Development In VSC++.Net
