TART Camera Control

Introduction

The goal of this project is to control the camera on TART via the on-board computer using an HC11 based motor controller board.

TART stands for Tracked Autonomous Robotics Testbed. TART hosts two two computers: the industrial pc (500MHz PIII, Linux) and the Winsystems single board computer (133MHz 586, QNX). TART is skid-steered by two powerful motors, each tread being ~0.75m long.

In this project, I will control the camera via a Motorola M68HC811E2 based motor controller board, and interface the HC11 board to the single board computer. If enough progress is made, I will write some framegrabber software for the industrial pc so some image processing can be done.

From time-to-time I will upload files to this directory such as my presentation slides, final report, and design diagrams. You can view them here.
