ECET 365 Week 6 Lab DeVry

Lab 6: Interfacing to Networks
Objectives
  1. Compare characteristics of different wireless communications modules.
  2. Compare characteristics of different wireless Internet communications modules.
  3. Determine which modules are the most suitable for the Smart Car or Robotics project.
  4. Develop a preliminary design for connecting a wireless module to the Smart Car or Robotics project.
Parts List
  1. Robotic Car kit with visual sensors
  2. Freescale Tower kit with S12G128 CPU board
  3. PC with IDE software (e.g. CodeWarrior Development Studio V5.1)
  4. PC with Internet access
Introduction
  1. Wireless operation allows you to control your project without being connected with a wiring harness. Your textbook mentions the ZigBee system, but there are many commercial systems available. We will investigate some systems by using the Internet to find and compare systems.
  2. We will also consider systems that provide access to the Internet using wireless communications.
  3. Finally, we will determine which systems are suitable for the Smart Car or Robotics projects.

Lab Steps
STEP 1: Procedures
  1. Search the Internet for wireless adaptors that can connect directly to digital ports. The adaptors should consist of a Transmitter section and a Receiver section so that two CPU boards could communicate with each other.
  2. Choose three wireless systems (a ZigBee system can be one of them).
  3. Compare the three systems in terms of
    1. Price;
    2. Ease of implementation (hardware and software);
    3. Data rate;
    4. Security;
    5. Latency; and
    6.  
  4. After choosing the best system from Step C above, sketch the method you would use to connect it to your project.
  5. As you did for the wireless systems above, find three wireless Internet communication systems, and compare them using the elements of Step C above.
  6. After choosing the best system from Step E above, sketch the method that you would use to connect it to your project.
  7. Observations
    1. Write your observations of the three wireless systems in the table below:

Security



Latency



Interference







  1. Sketch how you would connect the chosen system to your project. Attach the sketch to your lab report.
  2. Write your observations of the wireless Internet systems in the table below:
Comparison Item
