Autonomous Clock Project Part AGPS CLOCK INTERFACING WITH AN LCD ECE 345 Design Project Professor Gary Swenson T.A. Ajay Patel Presented By: Antwan Williams
Project Goals • Design a clock that will display the correct time according to position. • Use an LCD to display time and location.
Description • Receive a signal from the Global Positioning System (GPS) that gives correct time and position. • Send that information to the HC12 Motorola Microcontroller. • Take that information and display it on the AND501/GST LCD. FOR MORE INFO...
Technology • Ashtech’s GPS G8 OEM Boards • Small board • Needed programming • LCD interface not included • Used GPS NMEA standards • NMEA 0183 messages OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer
THE PLAN • HC12 use it’s transmission/receive registers to send NMEA commands to the GPS device. • HC12 would then receive time and location from the GPS device. • HC12 adjusts the time depending on the location it receives. • Uses index registers to display it on the LCD.
CHALLENGES • HC12 didn’t have the correct pin numbers on their printed on their I/O board. • Broken LCD • Modifying the code to increment to the next character and cease it from outputting nonsense to the LCD.
Modifications • Portability • Smaller GPS device • 4*8 character LCD
$ COST OF HARDWARE • HC12 = $????.?? • GPS = $750.00 • LCD = $30.00
Team/Resources • Need for GPS watches… • Special Thanks to: • Ajay • Professor Swenson
