Executive Summary

Introduction to Project: The goal of this project is to create a Wirelessly Controlled Car using DC motors interfaced with beaglebone/pi/.. It will be controlled from any Input device (for our demonstration, let it be a keyboard). The Control signals will be sent over WiFi.

Working parts: We have bought the chassis and mounted the wheels and motors. It will be a two wheel drive.

Not Working Parts: Since, we have just initiated our project, due to unavailability of electronic components, we have not been able to accomplish much. The motors are connected to the battery via a Motor Driver module but it can only be operated when we have a Raspberry Pi and a Wifi Module.

Conclusion: It has been a great experience to assemble all the required parts (whatever we have till now) and then to decide over the parts which we may be needing immediately or when if something goes wrong.

Instalment Instructions

If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

If you have wiring, include Frizing diagrams.


Packaging

 Future packaging of product something look this:

If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

If you have wiring, include Frizing diagrams.

Installation Instructions

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.

  • Include your github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
  • Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
  • Include a file called install.sh which installs all the files/packages needed. These are the things that only need to be done one.
  • Include a file called setup.sh which initializes everything. These are the things that need to be done every time you reboot the Bone.
  • Include a Makefile for your code if you use a compiled language.
  • Include any additional packages installed via apt-get.
  • Include kernel mods.
  • If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.

User Instructions

Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo.

Theory of Operation

Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.

Work Breakdown

List the major tasks in your project and who did what.

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.

Future Work

For now, we will try to operate the car sending directions over WiFi signals. Once it is completed, we may use IR sensors to avoid collisions, different coloured LEDs to tell about different ongoing processes.

Conclusions

If we are left with some time after completion of all the aforementioned processes, we will try to regulate the speed of motors in a stepped way (like gear system in Car). We are very excited about that part of project.
