ECET 365 Week 7 COURSE PROJECT (DUE IN WEEK 8)
Review
the Course Project Overview under the Introduction & Resources area for an
overall description of the Course Project, grading rubric, and deliverables.
The
Lab this week consists of integrating the various subsystems into a functional
Robotic Car. This involves testing and troubleshooting the individual
subsystems as well as testing the interaction among the subsystems. Also, a
Test Plan is developed to specify the tests that determine that a subsystem is
functioning correctly.
The
Lab contains an optional step involving a test track. A picture of a suggested
test track is available in the Files section of the Course Menu. The track
consists of sections of foam board and a center line consisting of black 1-inch
wide Gorilla Tape, a duct tape on steroids. Hint: The Robotic Car wheels will
need the rubber bands that are included in the kit. Otherwise, the hard plastic
wheels will slip on the foam board surface.
ECET 365 Week 7 Lab
Lab 7:
Integration of Subsystems
Objectives
- Complete the assembly of project subsystems.
- Test the operation of the completed project.
Parts List
- Robotic Car Kit with visual sensors
- Freescale Tower Kit with S12G128 CPU board
- PC with IDE software (e.g. CodeWarrior Development Studio V5.1)
Introduction
- The focus of the previous weeks of this course has been on the building and testing of the various subsystems of the project. This week is devoted to assembling the entire project and testing its operation.
- Considerable emphasis will be placed on test procedures that ensure the subsystems interact correctly with each other.

Lab Steps
STEP 1:
Procedures
- The Robotic Car has the following subsystems:
- Visual Sensor Subsystem
- Steering Subsystem
- Driver Motor Subsystem
- Computer Subsystem
Test
each system above to ensure that each is operating correctly. Part of
this lab’s purpose is to make sure that you have a test for each subsystem.
Make any necessary corrections to the subsystems before proceeding to the next
step.
- Test the operation of the visual sensors, steering subsystem, and computer subsystem, using a white index card with a black 1-inch-wide stripe across the center of the card to ensure that the steering mechanism is following the video input to keep the wheels centered on the stripe. (See Figure 1.) Move the card slowly and observe the motion of the front wheels. Be aware that, if the light environment is too strong, the wheels will jerk very quickly. If the car moves too far from the center line, it may not recover. Try using a light that is less intense. If you can get the wheels to correct as you move the card slowly to the left and right, declare victory and proceed to the next step.
- Set the car on a block so that the wheels are not on the ground. Test the drive motor subsystem and computer subsystem to ensure that the motor runs smoothly. You may hear a high frequency due to the pulse frequency. Again, record your test results and correct any hardware or software problems before proceeding to the next step.
- (Optional) When the entire system has been assembled and tested, put the car on the test track. (See Appendix A of the “ECET365 Smart Car Contest Rules for one example of a test track, located in the Files section of the Course Menu.) Make sure that the car can go at least two laps around the track.
Observations
Note that
each of the subsystems below also uses the computer subsystem to control
operations or data. Be sure to include any tests that involve software as well
as hardware.
- Visual Subsystem
- Test Method: (Briefly describe the test method used to verify the correct operation of the visual subsystem.)
- Test Results: (Record the measurements that indicate the visual subsystem is operating correctly.)
- Steering Subsystem
- Test Method: (Briefly describe the test method used to verify the correct operation of the steering subsystem.)
- Test Results: (Record the measurements that indicate the steering subsystem is operating correctly.)
- Visual sensor and steering operation interaction
- Test Method: (Briefly describe the test method used to verify that the visual sensor subsystem and the steering subsystem are working correctly together.)
- Test Results: (Record the measurements that indicate the video sensor and steering servo subsystems are working correctly together.
- Drive Motor Subsystem
- Test Method: (Briefly describe the test method used to verify that the drive motor subsystem is working correctly.)
- Test Results: (Record the measurements that indicate the drive motor subsystem is operating correctly).
- System Operation
- Test Method: (Briefly describe the test method used to verify that the system operates correctly when all the subsystems are operating.)
- Test Results: (Record the measurements that indicate the system is operating correctly.)
Additional
Questions:
- Have your problems been mostly hardware or software? Explain your answer.
- How does your estimate of energy required to do two laps compare with your measurements?
- What is the pulse frequency of the drive motor control signal?
- (Optional) How many laps can the car perform?
