Updated Team Assignments for Design

Our team found out that some people were not getting some things done that needed to get done. Why? Because we need more collaboration on design. Ie. We need overlap in design. It turns out, that some people do not have as much experience when it comes to actually designing things. These people are strong when it comes to theory, not implementation. Being good a theory is never a bad thing, but it is good to understand how to actually assemble and put together an actual electronic system.

 So we decided to break the two main submodules: car and GUI into submodules for design. These submodules include: wireless, sensors, GUI, electronic hardware, and car mechanics. Below shows the breakout on who does what in the design. Since we have five people in our team, this was a relatively easy task.

Each sub-team (my "trade-mark" term), will be responsible for insuring design is completed. This includes software as well as hardware. As for the "making a baby" part at the bottom, that's a silly amongst our team.

Wireless – Kirtan & Lahar

  • Tx / Rx data


Sensors – Kirtan & Mesele

  • Geiger Counter
  • Others
    • LPG
    • GPS
  • Camera


GUI – Cassy & Charis

  • Rx data
    • From camera and sensors
  • Tx data
    • Controller data
  • Calculate hazards
    • Based on buffer analysis of sensor data
  • Gather control data from PS3 controller
    • Usb
    • Serial
  • Link to car
  • Displays
    • Live video
    • Sensor data – graphs
    • Look at Cassy’s graphical design


Electronic Hardware – Charis & Lahar

  • PCB
    • Sensors
    • Cameras
    • Wireless
    • Motors
    • Acquiring parts and chipsets



Car Mechanics – Cassy & Mesele

  • Motor
    • Camera
    • Wheels
  • Body
    • Actual body
    • Tracks
    • Cut metal – home depot


Electronic Hardware and Car Mechanics MAKE A BABY

  • PCB design of motors, etc.
