MotionSystem

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.
