EECS-388-Final

This is the version control for Cody, Spencer, Caden, Rahul, and Ellia's EECS 388 Final Project

Functionality

• Use a new board (i.e., PCA9695) for driving servoand DC motors
• PCA9695 uses I2C to receive commands from Hi-Five board to generate PWM signal for the servo- and DC-motors

Prototype Components

1. Hi-five board
2. Pi board
3. Motor driver (PCA9695) 4- LIDAR
4. DC motor
5. Servo motor
6. Electronic Speed Controller (ESC

Milestones

• (Milestone 1)
  • Use the Hi-five board to send I2C commands to PCA9695 to drive the servo motor (for steering) and DC motors (for moving forward and backwards)
• (Milestone 2)
  • Connect Pi to Hi-five board using UART to set up a connection between the two boards for sending steering commands from the Pi to the Hi-five board
• (Milestone 3) - Control the car using a sequence of commands sending the steering commands from the Pi to the Hi-five board (using UART) and then to the motors (using PWM I2C controller)

Final Goal

• Implement an RC car’s components by incorporating elements from the previous labs
