Long Range Vehicle Control (Super Tank) Reliability & Safety Jason Holmes Matt Wickesberg Matt Guenette Michael Piercy
Project Overview • Collaborative effort between the Super Tank senior design team and HKUST team. • Wireless internet communication with vehicles either at Purdue or Hong Kong University to control movement, weaponry, or any extra features. • Controlled via Android App / Website • Tank vehicle on Purdue’s side will provide a video feed to a controller application as well as an extra turret fire option.
PSSCs • An ability to send/receive/decode commands from a controller wirelessly. • An ability to control direction/firing capability of a vehicle. • An ability to autonomously avoid obstacles encountered by the tank. • An ability to provide sensor feedback to a wireless controller. • An ability to monitor a battery and prevent unexpected signal loss by alerting operator.
Devices Chosen for Analysis • MicroController STM32F103RG • H-Bridge Motor Controller L298 • PowerRegulator APXW005A0X3-SRZ • Serial Translator ST3232EB
Definition of Criticality Levels • High Criticality • A failure that has the potential to injure the user or others around the device. • Medium Criticality • A failure that can permanently damage components of the device. • Low Criticality • A failure that would change the functionality of the device or affect its performance.
