2 PCB boards needed • Central “base station” • Remote platform on vehicle Overview
Off-board Components • Battery and battery charger • PS2 controller • 2 Camera receivers • Goggles (built with 2 LCD screens) • On-board Components • Voltage regulators (3.3V and 5V) • Microcontroller • Wireless Transceiver • Video overlay IC • Video decoders Central “base station”
Preliminary layout (not to scale) Wireless Transceiver Voltage Regulators Microcontroller PS2 controller input Power and Ground Video Processing ICs Video Processing ICs Central “base station” Video I/O Video I/O
Off-board Components • Battery and battery charger • Motors • Absolute magnetic encoder • 2 cameras • On-board Components • Voltage regulators (3.3V and 5V) • Microcontroller • Wireless transceiver • Compass Remote Platform
Central “base station” • Separate two video signal paths • Follow manufacturer’s recommendation for passive components • Remote platform on Vehicle • Use shielding to prevent interference from the motors EMI Concerns
