| − | == System Architecture ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The kart is controlled with a smartphone via BlueTooth.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A BlueTooth receiver on the kart control board communicates via an [[kart/serial link|RS232 serial link]] with the control board FPGA.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === BlueTooth communication ===
| + | |
| − | A BlueTooth communication transfers serial port data.
| + | |
| − | A receiver chip creates the RS232 signals for the FPGA.
| + | |
| − | The [[kart/serial link#Serial link protocol|protocol]] defines how the [[kart/serial link#Registers|registers]] are accessed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The FPGA receives following controls:
| + | |
| − | * the propulsion DC motor speed and direction
| + | |
| − | * the steering stepper motor target angle and step period
| + | |
| − | * two LEDs
| + | |
| − | The FPGA sends following information back:
| + | |
| − | * the [[kart/battery level|battery level]]
| + | |
| − | * the actual steering angle
| + | |
| − | * the [[Kart/sensors/VCNL4000|distance sensor]] data
| + | |
| − | * the [[Kart/sensors/SS311PT|hall sensor]] status
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Sensors ===
| + | |
| − | * [[kart/sensors/VCNL4000|VCNL4000 i2c Distance/Ambience Light Sensor]]
| + | |
| − | * [[kart/sensors/SS311PT|SS311PT Hall Sensor]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Board connectors ===
| + | |
| − | The FPGA board has following connections:
| + | |
| − | * a [[kart/connectors/Header|26 pin Header]] connector
| + | |
| − | * a 9 pole DSub connector for RS232
| + | |
| − | * the FPGA JTAG programming connector
| + | |
| − | * the PIC RJ11 programming connector
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Boards ===
| + | |
| − | For special designs, some boards have larger FPGAs:
| + | |
| − | * Board 29 has a AGL125V5
| + | |
| − | * Board 30 has a AGL250V5
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Within the Actel Project manager, the settings of the FPGA have to be changed: in <code>Project Manager</code>, change FPGA type in <code>Project -> Settings -> Device -> Die</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For the AGL250V5, pin 46 associated to <code>jtagIo[3]</code> is not available.
| + | |
| − | Edit the <code>motorControl.pdc</code> constraints file and change the <code>jtagIo[3]</code> constraint to pin 43.
