INTRODUCTION

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 1.3

Our goal was to create a robot capable of observing its environment

Start moving when it hears a two tone whistle

Move around a 20 by 60 cm rectangle

Stop moving when receiving a high temperature or when pushing a stop button

A challenging part was to have an international

group. We had a language barrier as well as different thinking methods.

Understanding how the robot works

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 2.1

Understand how the robot works

Some of the main components

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 2.2

Cyclone III processor

4MB flash memory

7 segments display

USB Blaster

10 switches

SDRAM 8 Mbytes

Understand how the robot works

CONSUMING

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 2.3

FPGA works at 5V

What we know

Understand how the robot works

To find the power, we must measure the current

Measured current : 0.15A

We know that:

P = U x I

P = 0.75W

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 2.4

Understand how the robot works

CONSUMING

What we know

P = 0.75 W

W=P*∆t

1kWh = 0.09 kg of CO2

During one hour :

W  = (0.75/1000)*1

      = 7.5*10^-4 kWh

Equivalent in CO2 :

6.75*10^-5 kg

Slide 2.5

Understand how the robot works

BATTERY

Powered by 4 lithium cells

Boe-Bot uses 0.15 A

T = (Battery / U) = 19H

Analysing sound signals

Reducing the memory used to  numerise a signal

We lost a little bit of precision but so much memory place.

Objectives of this part

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.2

This part aims at programming the robot. We had to:

  • Lean how to program in VHDL
  • Learn how to use QUARTUS II

 

Here are the programs we coded:

Programming the robot

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.3

Quartus II

It's a software used to program any ALTERA product such as the Boe-Bot Robot

There are two ways to tell the device what to do.

  1. Using a diagram
  2. Coding in VHDL

VHDL is a language used to control the behavior of an electronic device.

Slide 4.4

Quartus II

Programming the robot

PINNING THE COMPONENTS

IMPLEMENT THE CODE ON THE ROBOT

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.5

Counting from 0 to F

Programming the robot

The clock's frequency is 50MHz. Therefore, when it has done 50 000 000 cycles, that means a second has passed.

The program simply counts how many cycles the clock has done and when it reaches 50 000 000, it knows a second has passed.

How to count? Useful in many of our programs

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.6

Programming the robot

How the motor works

1 ms of high level makes the robot goes backward

1.5 ms of high level makes the robot stay put

2 ms of high level makes the robot goes forward

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.7

Programming the robot

How the motor works

The two motors given have opposite turning sense !

Examples: Each line represents the power given to a motor

1 ms

2 ms

Going forward

Go backward

1 ms

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 4.8

Programming the robot

Making a rectangle

In this program, the robot can be in 4 different states.

The first state is the one which makes the robot stop

1

2

The second state is for the smallest part of the rectangle

3

The third state is for the longest part of the rectangle

4

The fourth state makes the robot turn and counts how many states it's been through to help him know, which state it has to go to next.

Creating the captors

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 5.1

Creating the captors

Objectives of this part

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 5.2

Creating the captors

Learn how to use captors

Make electrical

circuits and

analyze them

Weld everything

on the card

Make simulations

Group G10B - ELECTRONIC PROJECT

Slide 5.3

Creating the captors

Microphone

We used an electret microphone

hit by a soundwave

Distance D1

Distance D2>D1

C= ε S/D

changing D changes the capacity

Slide 5.5

Creating the captors

Microphone

As we can see, the signal is too small

We must amplify it.

Amplifier

Our circuit :

The signal is now amplified, but the robot must only receive sounds that have a specific fequency.

We need to use a filter

Slide 5.11

Creating the captors

Trigger

The robot does not understand an electric signal. We must convert it to a binary sequence. To do that, we need to use a trigger...

Above SH => equals 1

Below SH => equals 0
