III Abstract With the increase in car production and world's population, are requests more and more areas and parking facilities. In this project, a new parking cars are called smart car parking system (SPS) proposes to help drivers find vacant places in the parking lot in the shortest time. The new system uses ultrasonic (ultrasound) sensors to detect any occupancy parking lot. This system is designed to determine the correct path in which space is available to parking the car. RFID used to add a layer of security for this system, and communicating between the system and drivers happened through LCD screen that display the system status.

  • Short Range Object Detection and Avoidance
    Short Range Object Detection and Avoidance N.F. Jansen CST 2010.068 Traineeship report Coach(es): dr. E. García Canseco, TU/e dr. ing. S. Lichiardopol, TU/e ing. R. Niesten, Wingz BV Supervisor: prof.dr.ir. M. Steinbuch Eindhoven University of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Control Systems Technology Eindhoven, November, 2010 Abstract The scope of this internship is to investigate, model, simulate and experiment with a sensor for close range object detection for the purpose of the Tele-Service Robot (TSR) robot. The TSR robot will be implemented in care institutions for the care of elderly and/or disabled. The sensor system should have a supporting role in navigation and mapping of the environment of the robot. Several sensors are investigated, whereas the sonar system is the optimal solution for this application. It’s cost, wide field-of-view, sufficient minimal and maximal distance and networking capabilities of the Devantech SRF-08 sonar sensor is decisive to ultimately choose this sensor system. The positioning, orientation and tilting of the sonar devices is calculated and simulations are made to obtain knowledge about the behavior and characteristics of the sensors working in a ring. Issues surrounding the sensors are mainly erroneous ranging results due to specular reflection, cross-talk and incorrect mounting. Cross- talk can be suppressed by operating in groups, but induces the decrease of refresh rate of the entire robot’s surroundings. Experiments are carried out to investigate the accuracy and sensitivity to ranging errors and cross-talk. Eventually, due to the existing cross-talk, experiments should be carried out to decrease the range and timing to increase the refresh rate because the sensors cannot be fired more than only two at a time.

  • Medidor Online De Temperatura Y Humedad De Bajo Consumo
    Medidor online de temperatura y humedad de bajo consumo Estudiante: Jesús Santiago Fernández Prieto “Ingeniería Técnica de Informática de Sistemas” Consultor: Jordi Bécares Ferrés 11 de Junio de 2013 When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd. (D. Ritchie) A mi familia, novia y amigos. 2 Resumen Para este proyecto se ha diseñado un dispositivo con capacidad de conexión a Internet a través de un punto de acceso WIFI para el envío de datos y alertar en caso de posibles temperaturas y humedades críticas, definidas con un valor mínimo y un máximo. El diseño de este dispositivo se ha hecho teniendo en cuenta el reducir el consumo de energía para maximizar autonomía. El dispositivo está basado en una mota LPC1769 que posee un procesador Cortex-M3 de ARM el cual ejecuta nuestro programa desarrollado. Este programa hace uso del sistema operativo FreeRTOS (Free Real Time Operating System) que facilitará y nos asegurará estabilidad. La mota llevará conectada un chip WiFly que se usará para poder conectarnos por WiFi al punto de acceso. Cuenta además con un sensor SHT15 que permite, a la mota, tomar las mediciones de temperatura y humedad relativa. Estos serán posteriormente enviados al servidor. En caso de que en alguno de esos valores esté fuera del rango de seguridad se avisará al usuario a través de dos leds conectados también a la mota. Se le puede configurar una dirección de correo electrónico donde se enviarán alertas para enviar un correo al usuario advirtiéndole de un posible problema.

  • Using the Parallax Propeller for Mechatronics Education
    Paper ID #7393 Using the Parallax Propeller for Mechatronics Education Dr. Hugh Jack, Grand Valley State University Hugh Jack is a Professor of Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering at Grand Valley State Uni- versity in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His interests include manufacturing education, design, project man- agement, automation, and control systems. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Using the Parallax Propeller for Mechatronics Education Abstract Microcontrollers have become a mainstay of mechatronics laboratories. For example, the Arduino boards, and shields, are low cost flexible hardware that can provide substantial capabilities. At Grand Valley State University all engineering students learn to program microcontrollers using Atmel ATMega processors, the same processors used on the Arduino boards. In the mechatronics course, EGR 345 - Dynamic System Modeling and Control, the students use Parallax Propeller based hardware. The alternate, Parallax Propeller, hardware platform broadens the students’ knowledge and gives them access to a multiprocessing environment. The paper objectively outlines the hardware/software platform and how it can be used in a mechatronics course for Manufacturing Engineering students. The supported topics include data collection, feedback control, various sensors, networking, and human interfaces. Educational activities include laboratory work and small projects. Introduction A computation platform is the backbone of any introductory course focused on mechatronics and/or modern controls. The number of available platforms easily reaches into the thousands. However for the purposes of education there are a few wise alternatives. The typical selection criteria for these systems are: • Cost for hardware and software; • Programming knowledge and student prerequisites; • Capabilities; • Electronic interfacing complexity and options; • Built in capabilities and functions; and • Adoption by industry.

The Industry 4.0 technological field is not new but it is highly heterogeneous (actually Industrial IoT it is the aggregation point of more than 30 different fields of the technology). For this reason, many stakeholders Big data feel uncomfortable since they do not master the whole set of technologies, they manifested a lack of knowledge Digital currency and problems of communication with other domains.

  • Propeller Quick Reference Guide
    Propeller Chip Quick Reference Spin Language Command Returns Description Value ABORT 〈Value〉 9 Exit from PUB/PRI method using abort status with optional return value. BYTE Symbol 〈[Count]〉 Declare byte-sized symbol in VAR block. 〈Symbol〉 BYTE Data 〈[Count]〉 Declare byte-aligned and/or byte-sized data in DAT block. BYTE [BaseAddress] 〈[Offset]〉 9 Read/write byte of main memory. Symbol.BYTE 〈[Offset]〉 9 Read/write byte-sized component of word/long-sized variable. BYTEFILL (StartAddress, Value, Count) Fill bytes of main memory with a value. BYTEMOVE (DestAddress, SrcAddress, Count) Copy bytes from one region to another in main memory. CASE CaseExpression MatchExpression : Statement(s) Compare expression against matching expression(s), execute code block if match found. 〈 MatchExpression : MatchExpression can contain a single expression or multiple comma-delimited expressions. Statement (s)〉 Expressions can be a single value (ex: 10) or a range of values (ex: 10..15). 〈 OTHER : Statement(s)〉 CHIPVER 9 Version number of the Propeller chip. CLKFREQ 9 Current System Clock frequency, in Hz. CLKMODE 9 Current clock mode setting. CLKSET (Mode, Frequency) Set both clock mode and System Clock frequency at run time. CNT 9 Current 32-bit System Counter value. COGID 9 Current cog’s ID number; 0-7. COGINIT (CogID, SpinMethod 〈(ParameterList)〉, StackPointer) Start or restart cog by ID to run Spin code. COGINIT (CogID, AsmAddress, Parameter) Start or restart cog by ID to run Propeller Assembly code. COGNEW (SpinMethod 〈(ParameterList)〉, StackPointer) 9 Start new cog for Spin code and get cog ID; 0-7 = succeeded, -1 = failed. COGNEW (AsmAddress, Parameter) 9 Start new cog for Propeller Assembly code and get cog ID; 0-7 = succeeded, -1 = failed.
