Course work
Hardware and Software Integration (ELEE 4000)
in collaboration with the VICEROY scholars research program sponsored by the Department of Defense
Overview
Developed an electric vehicle control architecture to for the control of the Woodpeck Electric Vehicle platofmr through a combination of RS232 USB serial communication, ROS2 publisher/subscriber nodes and CAN.
Developed with
1. C++
2. ROS2
3. CAN
4. Woodpecker Electric Vehicle Platform
5. Two Raspberry Pis with Ubuntu (Linux OS)
6. RS485-CAN-HAT
Performed
1. Created an event-driven input driver for an the teleoperable control of the EV platform with C++
2. Used C++ & ROS2 on Ubuntu (Linux) OS to write a publisher node that sends controller data to a subscriber wirelessly
3. The subscriber Raspberry Pi programmed for CAN transmission was connected to the EV CAN bus for control
Performed
4. The teleoperability allows for the steering, braking and control of the acceleration of the electric vehicle platform
5. Presented the project to Senator Gary Peters &
National Cyber Director, Harry Coker
6. Next steps involve building upon the control architecture to enable the autonomous
operation of the EV
Achieved
Won first place for Engineering Research Excellence at the College of Engineering & Science Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium
