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 self-navigates to the provided coordinates. The car uses SJOne boards based on LPC 1758 Microcontrollers. This page is a detailed report of the whole 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
