WORKSHOPS
“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery
• Micro controller workshop
• 3D-modelling workshop
FUNDRAISING
• University Funding • Corporate Sponsorship • Bake Sale • Donations

DEVELOPMENT
Hardware • Single Board Computer
and Motor Controllers • 900 Mhz Wifi
Software • Communication
interfaces • Graphical User Interface
DEVELOPMENT
• Functionality: supply wireless communications
• Special Features: low power, upgradable
• Unique Feature: mini PCI slots
DEVELOPMENT
CONTROL SYSTEMS
Designed to be Modular
If more motors are desired add another controller in the RS485 chain.
Easily replicable if a controller fails.
Dust tolerant Very energy efficient
COMMUNICATIONS
900mhz Wi-Fi High level IP protocol to
On Board Computer (OBC)
Server program on OBC receives messages, parses them that forwards the message down the peripheral device protocol.
Peripheral Device Protocol is a host entity to monitor the client motor controllers and give them commands
Variable length data Communications loss detection
COMMUNICATIONS
G.U.I.
VISION SYSTEM
H.264 high video compression
Video from camera comes pre-compressed
1080p video at 256KB/s
Video stream sent
VIA RTSP Protocol Allows for more
cameras on the same bus
Solved low bandwidth, high resolution video problem
SURVEYING
Survey based on pixel data
Space Resection and Space Intersection
Ideally 3 known landmarks per obsveration
Minimum two observations
Photogrammetry Based Surveying
Can attain up to cm accuracy
