S19: Lightfury
Contents
Project Title
LightFury
Abstract
LightFury is an autonomous electric car that takes GPS location as a destination from an Android smartphone application and navigates with the help of sensors (sonar, compass) to the provided coordinates. The car uses SJOne boards based on LPC 1758 Microcontrollers. This page is a represents design report for the project.
Introduction
The project was divided into 7 modules:
- Master Controller
- Motor Controller
- Sensor Controller
- GPS Controller
- Android application and Bluetooth Connectivity
- Hardware (PCB designing)
- Testing
