  1. Critical Design Review - “Dayrider” Team Dayrider George Jenny, Amjad Sawaged, Tim Ikenouye, Kieran Tie

  2. Objectives • Minimum: A solar-powered, router-controlled RC vehicle • Target: A self-controlled software-sensor interface with regenerative techniques for energy recapture measurements • Optimal: A vehicle that combines efficient design, functional power management, and a dynamic user interface in an aesthetically pleasing package CDR - Team Dayrider

  3. Status • Components selected and shipping • Preliminary wire-wrapping of modular pieces (ADCs) • Control software of the MSP430 I.P. • Schematics: main board, subsystems sketched out and transferring to Altium • Router hardware/software modifications completed CDR - Team Dayrider

  4. Block Diagram CDR - Team Dayrider

  5. Motor - Traxxas “Stinger 540” • 20-turn DC brushed motor • ~1.5A at 3V no load • ~33mA at 500 mV reverse • Already standard on the current chassis CDR - Team Dayrider

  6. Battery – STAAB • 6V output • 3.4 Amp-hour capacity • 7-7.5 rated charging V • ~0.692 kg • 134mm/34mm/60mm CDR - Team Dayrider

  7. Solar Panels • 7.2 V@200 mA • Thickness 0.6mm (24 mil) • Total Size 253mm x 150mm • Weight-25.9g CDR - Team Dayrider

  8. Microcontroller - TI MSP430F1611 • 16 bit RISC CPU • 8 MHz operational frequency • 48 KB Flash, 10 KB Ram • 48 GPIO pins • Analog Comparator, DMA • Hardware Interface: • 2 UART or SPI for hardware Interface: (USART 0, USART1) • I2C mode for peripheral interface CDR - Team Dayrider

  9. Microcontroller - TI MSP430F1611 CDR - Team Dayrider

  10. Modular Peripherals • Hardware addressed on each peripheral board • Plug and Play onto main board • Modularized design allows for easier assembly and debugging • I2C Bus: supports 7 and 10 bit addressing modes (p308 user guide) CDR - Team Dayrider

  11. I2C Bus • Basic implementation of I2C Bus • Must be implemented in USART0 CDR - Team Dayrider

  12. USART0 Control Register RXDMAEN - Transmit data from I2C via DMA upon receiving data SYNC– (1) for [SPI or I2C] mode, (0) for UART mode I2C– (1)selects I2C mode when SYNC = 1 I2CEN– enables(0) or disables(1) operation of I2C mode MST– selects master (1) or slave (0) mode CDR - Team Dayrider

  13. I2C Timing Diagrams One clock pulse is generated by the master device for each data bit transferred. The I2C module operates with byte data. Data is transferred most significant bit first as shown in Figure 15.3 STOP Condition: SDA Low to High while SCL is High START Condition: SDA High to Low while SCL is High Change of Data only allowed while SCL is Low, otherwise START and STOP conditions are generated CDR - Team Dayrider

  14. I2C Addressing Scheme Start Condition Stop Condition Acknowledge bit sent by receiver after each byte Direction of data flow on SDA can be changed by master by issuing a repeated start condition: RESTART is issued, slave address issued with new value for R/W bit CDR - Team Dayrider

  15. Motor Controller - LMD18200T • Controlled using PWM by additional MSP430F2003TN connected to I2C bus • Steering mechanism: 5 V supply servo motor, dead straight D = 50%, f = 392 Hz @ 1 V, modulating D from 40% – 60% steers left to right. Functional diagram CDR - Team Dayrider
