  1. ECE 477 Final Presentation Team 6  Spring 2011 Brian Bentz, Stephen Wolf, Fuhe Xu, Kirk Iler

  2. Outline • Project overview • Block diagram • Design challenges • Individual contributions • Project demonstration • Questions / discussion

  3. Project Overview • Turret-mounted coilgun • User interface that enables manual control of the coilgun and turret through Ethernet • Uses image processing on camera input to track targets • Multiple projectile speeds • Two axis motion of turret • And underlying motivation

  4. Block Diagram

  5. Design Challenges • High Voltage and High Current parts • Numerous components fried • Special attention to power supplies • Multiple software platforms • Multiple communications protocols • USB difficulties in general • Ethernet junk packets

  6. Individual Contributions • Team Leader – Stephen Wolf • Team Member 2 – Brian Bentz • Team Member 3 – Kirk Iler • Team Member 4 – FuheXu

  7. Team Leader – Stephen Wolf

  8. Member 2 – Brian Bentz

  9. Member 3 – Kirk Iler • Image Processing • C++ OpenCV libraries • Visual Studio and Atom processor configurations, device drivers • USB debugging • Assistance with hardware assembly, testing, and debugging. • End of semester documentation

  10. Member 4 – FuheXu • Software leader • Wrote software on all platforms • GUI and Java Packet handling • C++ Packet Handling and USB • Microcontroller code • Debugged most code implementations • Master of pretty ponies

  11. Project Demonstration • An ability for a user to enter commands and display the status of the turret through an external interface- demo • An ability to aim the projectile by controlling of the azimuth and elevation angles of the barrel- demo • An ability to gather images and perform target recognition and tracking - demo • An ability to charge a capacitor bank to a variable voltage, up to 400V- demo • An ability to fire a projectile using electromagnetic force - demo

  12. Questions / Discussion
