Week 9-10 - Spartan Superway Controls
Coming back from spring break, we were successfully able to combine our GUI, Raspberry Pi, and Xbee modules to create a mobile device that can send directions to the podcars. Using Raspbian Limux, we were able to open the GUI and implement the COM port of the Xbee into the script. Through this, the commands selected in the GUI are successfully sent to our miniature model.
From this point on, we will be waiting on both the track team and the bogie team to create a working prototype that we can test our electronics on. Once successfully tested, we can go ahead and order the rest of the parts and begin assembly of the three pods.
A video of the control system can be seen below:
