Project Description
The application field of this project is robotic.
The goal of this project is to provide a R/C Servos Controller to manage R/C by different ways, and a motion measurement system via accelerometers.
The project is composed by different componants:
- A hardware board on which are plugged R/C servos, accelerometers and ADC multiplexers.
- A FPGA firmware which manages R/C servo at low level (Already written, thanks to Sonzerro and Fabien Marteau).
- A Linux Kernel Driver which manages the FPGA Firware, the ADC multiplexers and ADC Max1027.
- A user space daemon which manages the driver and listen on TCP port to accept remote commands from the network.
- A user desktop application which sends commands to the daemon.

Introduction
Overall original objectives of the project have not been reached. The following functionality are not implemented:
- The accelerometers and ADC multiplexers are under development (hardware, driver and user application).
- The board is available in schematic form. No PCB layout.

How to use the project
Introduction
The main goal of this project is to develop a system to manage motion on robotic platform. Finally only the subsystem that manages R/C servos is achieved. The MotionSystem can manage up to 32 R/C servos. R/C servos are a good solution to the moving issue on a small robotic platform. Hobbyist robotic platform like Lynxmotion Robots (http://www.lynxmotion.com) use many R/C servos.
