RoverSenseLayer

Software

  • the Rover's documentation (install guide, web-access incl. camera stream, and tracing possibilities), the AMALTHEA model, and the application SW can be found @: git Rover repository
  • Rover SD card images are available here

Investigation results

  • No US sensor (Grove, SRF02, and SR04) gives reliable values, consequently only IR sensors should be used

Included Implementations

  • Displaying Hono, BT, and Wifi connection via OLED display
  • Website generation for live stream, controls, and sensor data / CPU utilisation visualisation
  • Wifi hotspot
  • ACC
  • Grove / SR04 / SRF02 US Sensor access via wiringPi library but unreliable values
  • IR sensor access
  • Hono interaction

Upcoming Implementations

  • BT connectivity to allow android app control
  • Temp. Hum. sensor, Accelerometer / Gyro, and Buzzer implementation
  • Bluetooth implementations for remote Anroid App / Joystick control
  • New shield on top of motor controller --> one more A/D converter, remove one LLC, attach OLED display
