  1. Blimpage Critical Design Review Blimpage Team: Daniel McCabe Nguyen Trinh Joseph Brannan David Wolpoff Philip Grippi

  2. System Overview • Modular general-purpose drone controller • Navigation, collision-detection, general motor interfaces, data collection • Zero-impact on system performance • Lightweight, independently powered

  3. What is the Blimpage • Composed of six main modules: • General-purpose microcontroller network • Motor / servo controller • Position and heading monitoring • Collision-detection / alarm • Data collection • Off-module communication

  4. Functional Block Diagram

  5. The Micros MSP 430 F1232 Micro Controllers Key Features: Ultra Low Power: 300 μA (Active)0.7 μA (Standby) C-Programming Interface

  6. Master Functions • Arbitrates data transfers on i2c bus • Prioritize Data Transfers • Passes data among subsystems • Handle user-input objectives • Coordinate startups and shutdowns • Bleating

  7. Master State Machine • And Now Something COMPLETELY different.

  8. Master State Machine. Take 2 • Init • Initialize all slaves. • Query • Check who has data • Prioritize data • Idle • Handle ‘master’ tasks. • Xfer • Carry out all bus transactions in priority order.

  9. Command Set • Initialization: • From Master: “Are you alive and what is your target type?” • From Slave: “I am target type TARGET.”  • Query Data: • From Master: “Do you have data?” • From slave: “I have data for TARGET, of priority DATA” • Transfer Data: • From Master: “Here is DATA from TARGET” • From slave: “Her is DATA for TARGET” • Objective Update: • From Master: “New objective from TARGET is DATA” • From slave: “New objective for TARGET is DATA” • Global Abort: • From Master: “halt immediatly” • From Slave: “They sky has fallen! Tell everyone to halt” • Global Abort: • From Master: “halt immediatly” • From Slave: “They sky has fallen! Tell everyone to halt” • Local Abort: • From Slave: “I'm dead, go on without me” •  Block Transfer: • From Master: “I have DATA words from TARGET” • From slave: “I have DATA words for TARGET” • Master then reads DATA words from slave and writes them to TARGET.  • Debug Code: • From slave: “Process debug info DATA” • Global Reset: • From Master: “Reset yourself, and restart operations.”

  10. Modified i2c Protocol START: STOP: ADDRESS CYCLE:

  11. i2c Functionality • Fully compatible with standard i2c devices • Added START pin for micro-controllers • 7-bit address size • 8-bit data size • 16-bit word size: for large block transfers

  12. Position and Heading Intro • Detects position from digital compass- HMR3100 • Detects heading from HMR3100 and twoaccelerometers-ADXL3100 • Sends direction instruction to Motor Controller Module via I2C bus • Receives collision direction information via I2C bus from Collision Detection Module

  14. Digital Compass HMR3100 • 5 degree Heading Accuracy, 0.5 degree Resolution • 2-axis Capability • Uses 3.3 V DC Single Supply Operation • Uses 9600 N.8.1 communication for outputting binary data • Delivers output binary data to UART of Positon/Heading uC • UART binary data converts into decimal data for position’s degree • With output data of ADXL311, sends direction instruction to motor controllers module via I2C bus

  15. HMR3100 Time Diagram Continuous Mode: 2 Hz heading queries at 9600 baud rate Calibration Mode:

  16. Accelerometer ADXL311 • Dual-axis accelerometer • Uses 5-V single-supply operation with 0.4 mA typical consumption • Uses Internal Low Pass Filter with bandwidth of 10 Hz • Based on blimp’s average acceleration of 5 (cm/s)/s, 50 mV (VPP) variation of output voltage from ADXL311 • Put the variation of output voltage through an external LPF (MAX7490) of 2 Hz • Then scale the variation of output voltage 7 times bigger from TLV2370 Op-amp • Then put the amplified variation output voltage into the ADC10 in Pos/Heading uC

  19. Motor Control Intro • Motor module uC receives direction instruction over I2C bus from Position and Heading Module • 4 uC logic level outputs are optically isolated from H-Bridges – control 2 motors’ behavior • uC logic level PWM signal is optically isolated from Servo • Two fans operate in forward or reverse • Servo controls position of fans (up or straight) • 3 V battery powers motors and servo

  23. Collision Detection Intro • Collision module uC cycles through 6 channels on Mux/Demux using binary addressing • Vcc enable signal multiplexed to 6 Voltage Regulators which power 6 distance sensors (limits power consumption) • Distance sensor outputs de-multiplexed into LPF • LPF output sampled by uC’s ADC10 • Collision status register and priority flag updated • Collision direction information passed over I2C bus to positioning and heading module • 5 V regulated voltage powers module components

  27. Communications • Enables communication with “outside” world. • RS232 protocol, via MAX3233. • Reads data from Master and outputs it to host PC for interpretation. • Reads data from host and outputs it to Master. • Enables debugging, etc.

  28. Data Acquisition • Servo Motorized ‘message’ deployment • Delivers messages discreetly and accurately. • Camera scrapped for blimp due to weight constraints. • (Time Permitting) JamCam camera will be deployed on R/C Car • RS232 communication • Documented protocol • (Time Permitting) Audio/Temperature/Humidity Sensors
